Future: from vision 
to action

Consolidated Annual Report 2019

Dear shareholders and stakeholders,

Our industrial model fully integrates sustainability into our business strategy. In 2019, this enabled us to continue our 

growth, confirming us as a leader in the main facets of the energy transition.

We are the largest private distributor of electricity in the world, with 73 million end users in a variety of the planet’s large 

urban areas, and we are the leading private operator in renewable energy globally, with 46 GW of managed capacity(1).

Among private companies, we have the largest customer base in the world in the retail segment as well, with around 

70 million customers, and we are well positioned to seize the opportunities created by the trend towards electrification. 

Our solid performance in recent years has strengthened the market’s confidence in us. During the year, Enel’s stock 

price posted a gain of 40%, exceeding €7, outperforming the Italian index (FTSE-MIB: +28%) and the sector index 

(Euro STOXX Utilities: +22%) and has also been included in the STOXX Europe 50 index, which brings together the fifty 

largest companies in Europe.

The macroeconomic environment
In 2019, the global economic growth was sluggish, continuing the slowdown that had already begun in the 2nd Half of 

2018. Trade tensions between the United States and China, together with geo-political strains and the persistent clima-

te of uncertainty about the outcome of the Brexit negotiations, impacted investment decisions until the final months 

of the year. Responding to the deteriorating global environment, central banks altered their monetary policy stances, 

with the Fed and the ECB aggressively cutting interest rates and restoring their quantitative easing policies.

2019 was also marked by a further deceleration in the Chinese economy, while in the United States the economy con-

tinued to be supported by resilient domestic demand, with private consumption still strong.

Growth in the euro area was modest, averaging +1.2%. This performance mainly reflected the decline in output attribu-

table to the weakness of non-European demand, partially offset by a relatively healthy domestic market.

In Latin America, economic conditions in 2019 were weaker than in 2018 but the picture was mixed, with countries 

such as Colombia demonstrating a solid foundation, while others were more exposed to the volatility of the macroe-

conomic and political context, including Argentina. Brazil posted a strong recovery in economic activity in the last two 

quarters of 2019, but the slowdown in the Chinese economy and pressures on commodity prices curbed GDP growth.

During 2019, the oil market was buffeted by volatility, with the price of Brent fluctuating up and down. In general, prices 

were lower than last year, indicating a structural weakness in global demand.

The gas market was characterized by a global surplus of LNG demand, which diverted flows to Europe, causing stocks 

to rise to record levels and a sharp drop in prices.
The decrease in the price of gas in combination with strains on the price of CO2, which was especially volatile in 2019, 
led to a weakening of the competitiveness of coal, especially in the thermal generation sector, which was reflected in 

a drop in demand and the price of fuel.

At the end of 2019, the initial cases of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) were registered in Wuhan (China), placing 

great strain on the social and economic systems of many countries around the world.

Performance
In 2019, the Enel Group continued its growth, hitting all the targets we had set ourselves, despite the deterioration 

in the competitiveness of conventional generation. This prompted us to write down almost all the Group’s coal-fired 

plants and contributed to the continuing instability in some Latin American economies.

More specifically, the Group ended the year with ordinary EBITDA of €17.9 billion, an increase of 10.8% compared 

with €16.2 billion in 2018, outperforming our guidance to investors. Net ordinary income, the aggregated on which the 

dividend is calculated, reached €4.8 billion, an increase of 17% compared with the previous year. The dividend for 2019 

is about €0.33 per share, an increase of 17% compared with the €0.28 paid in 2018 and the minimum dividend guaran-

(1)  In addition to installed capacity, this includes that managed by associates or joint ventures (about 3.7 GW).

Letter to shareholders and other stakeholders 

teed to shareholders. The ratio of FFO to net debt, an indicator of our financial strength, reached 26% at the end of the 

year, exceeding the target set for 2019. Net debt amounted to €45.2 billion, lower than the forecast announced to the 

market, although higher than the previous year due to the application of new accounting standards, the extraordinary 

transactions completed during the period and the increase in investment for growth.

Main developments

On the generation front, Enel reached a new record in 2019, building 3,029 MW of new renewable capacity globally, 

thanks to a solid, well-diversified and continuously expanding project pipeline. Consolidated installed renewable capaci-

ty reached 42 GW and exceeded thermal generation capacity, which declined to 39 GW. This is an important step in the 

Group’s journey towards a cleaner and more sustainable energy mix, which is also underscored by the rapid reduction 
in specific CO2 emissions, which fell to 296 g/kWheq (-20% compared with 2018). The target set in 2015 to reduce direct 
emissions below 350 g/kWheq was thus achieved a year in advance.
The Group continued digitalizing its grids, with an increase of 5.9 millions in the number of second generation smart 

meters  installed  (for  a  total  of  13.1  millions)  and  the  development  of  innovative  projects  such  as  the  Puglia Active 

Network (Italy) and Urban Futurability (São Paulo, Brazil). These projects are aimed at improving the quality and resilien-

ce of power grids, thanks to the use of technologies such as distributed sensors, artificial intelligence and 3D modeling.

During the year, the installation of public charging infrastructure for electric vehicles continued in Italy, Spain and Ro-

mania and interoperability agreements were reached, giving Enel X customers access to a network of 79,565 charging 

points. The Group also confirmed its leadership in the energy transition, supporting the electrification of public tran-

sport with the supply of charging stations for electric buses in Chile and Colombia. We have also confirmed our ability 

to assist customers in using energy more efficiently, bringing the capacity of active demand management services to 

6.3 GW and the total capacity of batteries installed with industrial customers or directly connected to distribution and 

transmission grids to 110 MW.

An important milestone in the digital transformation was reached in April 2019 with the completion of the migration of 

the Group’s data and applications to the cloud. Enel is the first of the world’s major utilities to have achieved this goal, 

with enormous advantages in terms of flexibility, speed, safety, resilience as well as efficiency. This step is also crucial 

as a technological enabler of new business approaches, such as platform models, which will be increasingly relevant 

in Enel’s near future.

Among extraordinary operations, the sale of the Reftinskaya coal-fired plant in Russia (3.8 GW) by the subsidiary Enel 

Russia to JSC Kuzbassenergo, a subsidiary of the Siberian Generating Company, was completed.

Enel Green Power North America restructured the joint venture with General Electric in the United States through the 

acquisition of 100% of seven geothermal, wind and solar generation plants, for a total of 650 MW, and the sale of 80% 

of a 785 MW portfolio of US wind farms to CalPERS.

In Brazil, acting through our subsidiary Enel Green Power Brasil Participações Ltda, the Group finalized the sale of 

100% of three fully operational renewable plants with a total capacity of 540 MW to the Chinese company CGN Ener-

gy International Holdings Co. Limited.

In Italy, the Mercure biomass plant was sold to F2i SGR, an operation that was part of an agreement between the Enel 

Group and F2i SGR for the sale of the entire portfolio of biomass plants in Italy.

Finally, in the 1st Half of 2019, using a total return swap (TRS) transaction on Enel Américas shares, the Group increa-

sed its stake in that company by 5% and now holds an interest of about 60%.

With regard to finance, after the third €1 billion green bond issued in January, the year culminated with the issue of 

two SDG-Linked bonds, the first bonds in the world linked directly to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set 

by the United Nations with its 2030 Agenda. The two operations raised a total of €3.9 billion on the American and Eu-

ropean markets, attracting great interest from the international financial community. Oversubscribed by an average of 

3.6 times supply and a cost discount of up to 20% compared with conventional financing instruments, the operation 

led to Enel winning the “ESG Issuer of the Year” award from International Financing Review.

Strategy and forecasts for 2020-2022

The world of utilities is experiencing an era of profound transformation, mainly driven by the challenge of decarbonizing 

the energy sector. The progressive shift of generation from fossil fuels to renewable sources, together with the accele-

Consolidated Annual Report 2019ration in the electrification of final consumption, will be the main trends in the energy transition. Energy infrastructures 

and digital platforms will be key factors in enabling this transition and achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Deve-

lopment Goals. The sustainable strategy and the integrated business model developed in recent years have allowed 

the Group to constantly create value and will allow us to benefit from the opportunities emerging from this transition, 

while limiting the related risks.

Thanks to a development model based on the organic build-out of renewable generation assets that gives us great 

flexibility in the use of capital, the Group is capable of responding swiftly to any unexpected scenario changes that 

could be triggered by the pandemic that has been spreading around the world in these last few months.

In November 2019, Enel presented the 2020-2022 Strategic Plan, which, while confirming the strategic direction alre-

ady set explicitly integrates the SDG objectives into our financial strategy.

The growth path outlined in the Plan shows a steady acceleration in performance, with a target for the Group’s ordinary 

EBITDA of €20.1 billion in 2022, compared with €17.9 billion in 2019 (+12%).

In the next three years, the Group expects gross organic capex of around €28.7 billion (an increase of 11% compared 

with the previous plan), of which more than 90% is attributable to the four SDGs on which the strategy is based: SDG 

7 - Affordable and Clean Energy; SDG 9 - Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure; SDG 11 - Sustainable Cities and Com-

munities; and SDG 13 - Climate Action.

Of  total  organic  investment,  more  than  €12.5  billion  will  be  dedicated  to  the  construction  and  maintenance  of  re-

newable generation plants, with renewable capacity to reach 60 GW by 2022. At the same time, the Group will conti-

nue to progressively eliminate coal-fired generation, with a 74% decrease in such output as early as 2022.

This strategy is consistent with Enel’s commitment to the fight against climate change, which was further strengthe-
ned in September 2019 with the setting of a new target: reducing direct CO2 emissions per kWh by 70% by 2030, 
compared with 2017 levels. This target has been certified by the Science Based Targets initiative, the world’s most 

authoritative  initiative  to  support  the  definition  of  science-based  targets  that  encourage  companies  to  support  the 

transition towards a zero-emission economy, in line with the objectives of the Paris Agreement. In parallel, Enel has set 

another new target, also certified by the Science Based Targets initiative, namely to reduce indirect emissions associa-

ted with the consumption of gas by Enel end users by 16% by 2030.

With regard to grids, investments of around €11.8 billion are planned, with the aim of further improving their resilience, 

quality and efficiency, thanks in part to the use of the new generation of smart meters, which in 2022 will number al-

most 29 millions, and the adoption of a platform business model that will make operations in all the countries in which 

we operate more effective.

Finally, the Group will invest a total of €2.3 billion in the retail segment and in Enel X to strengthen the central role 

of the customer, gaining an advantageous position in view of the growing electrification of energy consumption. The 

development of global platforms and ecosystems will allow us to make new services available to customers, enabling 

further creation of value for the Group. By 2022, there will be around 35 million customers in the free market, with 10.1 

GW of active demand management capacity and 736 MW of installed electricity storage.

The soundness of our business model and the flexibility noted above in the use of cash flows in organic investment 

enable us to confirm the dividend policy based on a pay-out of 70% of the Group’s net ordinary income and to extend 

the minimum dividend per share for the entire 2020-2022 period, with Enel expecting to use its profits in 2020-2022 to 

pay the greater between a) a dividend per share based on a pay-out of 70%; and b) a minimum dividend per share of 

€0.35, €0.37 and €0.40 respectively.

At a moment of great instability in the global scenario, we face the future with confidence, drawing strength from what 

we have built and the value of our people.

Officer

 > Like the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the CEO is vested by the bylaws with the powers to re-

present the Company and to sign on its behalf, and in addition is vested by a Board resolution of May 

5, 2017 with all powers for managing the Company, with the exception of those that are otherwise 

assigned by law or the bylaws or that the aforesaid resolution reserves for the Board of Directors.

 > In the exercise of these powers, the CEO has defined a sustainable business model, delineating a 

strategy to lead the energy transition towards a low-carbon model.

 > The CEO reports to the Board of Directors and the Board of Statutory Auditors on the activities perfor-

med in the exercise of the powers granted to him, including business activities consistent with Enel’s 

commitment to address climate change. 

 > The CEO has also been designated as the director responsible for the ICRMS. 

 > He represents Enel in various initiatives that deal with sustainability, holding positions of leadership in 

world-renowned institutions such as the United Nations Global Compact and the Global Investors for 

Sustainable Development (GISD) Alliance launched by the United Nations in 2019.

 > In 2019, the Company also organized a special induction program to provide the directors with an under-

standing of the sectors in which the Group operates, including issues related to climate change and the 

related impact on industrial strategy and corporate operations.

 > At the end of 2019 and during the first two months of 2020, the Board of Directors carried out, with 

the assistance of a specialized independent advisor, an assessment of the size, composition and 

functioning of the Board and its committees (the “board review”), in line with the most advanced 

corporate governance practices accepted at the international level and incorporated within the Cor-

porate Governance Code. This board review also analyzed specific aspects concerning the asses-

sment  of  sustainability  issues  by  the  Board  of  Directors. The  board  review  was  carried  out  using 

a “peer review” approach, i.e. evaluating not only the operation of the body as a whole, but also 

the style and substance of the contribution made by each of its members. The results of the board 

review confirmed an extremely positive overall picture of the operation of Enel’s Board of Directors 

and Board committees, indicating that these bodies operate effectively and transparently, in strict 

compliance  with  national  and  international  best  practice  in  the  field  of  corporate  governance,  as 

confirmed by the advisor.

Enel GroupGovernanceStrategy & Risk ManagementPerformance & MetricsOutlookConsolidated financial statementsEnel organizational model

The Enel Group structure is organized into a matrix that comprises:

The  Global  Business  Lines  are  responsible  for  managing  and  developing  assets,  optimizing  their 

performance and the return on capital employed in the various geographical areas in which the Group 

operates. The  Business  Lines  are  also  tasked  with  improving  the  efficiency  of  the  processes  they 

manage and sharing best practices at the global level. The Group, which also draws on the work of an 

Investment Committee(2), benefits from a centralized industrial vision of projects in the various Business 

Lines. Each project is assessed not only on the basis of its financial return but also in relation to the 

Global Business 
Lines

best technologies available at the Group level, which reflect the new strategic line adopted, explicitly 

integrating  the  SDGs  within  our  financial  strategy  and  promoting  a  low-carbon  business  model. 

Furthermore, each Business Line contributes to guiding Enel’s leadership in the energy transition and 

in  the  fight  against  climate  change,  managing  the  associated  risks  and  opportunities  in  its  area  of 

competence. In 2019, Global Power Generation was created with the merger of Enel Green Power and 

Global Thermal Generation to confirm the Enel Group’s leading role in the energy transition, pursuing 

an integrated process of decarbonization and the sustainable development of renewable capacity. In 

addition, the Grid Blue Sky project was launched. Its objective is to innovate and digitalize infrastructures 

and  networks  in  order  to  make  them  an  enabling  factor  for  the  achievement  of  the  Climate  Action 

objectives, thanks to the progressive transformation of Enel into a platform-based group.

Regions and Countries are responsible for managing relationships with institutional bodies and regulatory 

authorities, as well as selling electricity and gas, in each of the countries in which the Group is present, 

while also providing staff and other service support to the Business Lines. They are also charged with 

promoting  decarbonization  and  guiding  the  energy  transition  towards  a  low-carbon  business  model 

within their areas of responsibility. In 2019, the Group’s geographical organization in the Americas was 

revised with the creation of the North America Region, which includes Mexico, and the integration of 

Costa Rica, Guatemala and Panama into the Latin America region.

Functions

The  Holding  Company  Functions  are  responsible  for  managing  governance  processes  at  the 

Group  level. The Administration,  Finance  and  Control  function  is  also  responsible  for  consolidating 

scenario analysis and managing the strategic and financial planning process aimed at promoting the 

decarbonization of the energy mix and the electrification of energy demand, key actions in the fight 

against climate change.

Energy - commodity conditions
Volatility returned to the oil market last year. Observing devel-

opments in the price of Brent, we find alternating upward and 

downward price movements during 2019, with a peak above 

$71 a barrel in April, before falling below $60 a barrel in late 

summer.

Despite  the  numerous  events  exerting  downward  pressure 

on the global oil supply (the sanctions imposed by the Trump 

administration  on  Iranian  exports,  the  deterioration  in  the 

crisis in Venezuela and the attacks on infrastructure in Saudi 

Arabia), prices were lower than at the beginning of the year, 

indicating a structural weakness in global demand.

The average API2 price of coal in 2019 fell by 34% compared 

with 2018. This trend is attributable to two main factors: 1) the 

drop in global demand and 2) supply cuts that were insufficient 

to rebalance the fundamentals. The rapid drop in coal demand 

in Europe (with a decline of about 20% in imports compared 

with a year earlier) was due both to a number of closures of 

capacity and a replacement effect between coal and gas due 

to the greater cost competitiveness of combined-cycle plants.

On the supply side, Indonesia maintained its position as the 

main  exporter  (a  year-on-year  increase  of  40  million  metric 

tons),  followed  by  Russia  and  Australia,  while  exports  from 

Colombia and the United States decreased due to the decline 

in demand from Europe.

During  the  past  year,  the  weakening  of  Asian  demand  and 

new liquefaction capacity entering the market led to a surplus 

of LNG, which helped divert gas flows to Europe, first driving 

gas stocks to record levels and then causing a sharp drop in 

gas  prices  at  all  major  European  hubs. The  average TTF  gas 

price,  for  example,  was  €13.6/MWh,  down  40%  compared 

with a year earlier.

The physical climate scenario
Among the climate projections developed by the Intergovern-

mental  Panel  on  Climate  Change  (IPCC)(6)  on  a  global  scale, 

the  Group  has  selected  two  representing  a  specific  level  of 

emissions (the so-called “Representative Concentration Path-

way”):

 > Representative  Concentration  Pathway  2.6  (RCP  2.6): 

compatible with global warming of less than +2 °C above 

pre-industrial levels by 2100, or an average of about +1 °C 

in 2081-2100;

 > Representative  Concentration  Pathway  8.5  (RCP  8.5): 

compatible with a scenario where no particular measures 

are taken to combat climate change, a so-called “business 

as usual scenario”. In this scenario, a mean global tempera-

ture increase of about 4.3 °C above pre-industrial levels is 

forecast for 2081-2100.

In  the  RPC  8.5  climate  projections,  the  Mediterranean  and 

Central/South America will experience a significant increase 

in average temperatures and a substantial decline in precip-

itation,  with  the  effects  becoming  more  pronounced  in  the 

second  half  of  the  century  and  the  impact  increasing  up  to 

2100. In the RCP 2.6 scenario, the effects will be similar but 

Italy
Acute phenomena: in the 2030-2050 period, heat waves are 

expected  to  increase  appreciably  both  in  terms  of  frequen-

cy  and  geographical  distribution,  especially  in  the  southern 

regions  of  the  country.  In  these  scenarios,  the  intensity  of 

extreme rain and snowfall events increases sharply, but their 

frequency declines compared with historic trends.

Chronic phenomena: the average annual temperature is expect-

ed  to  increase  over  the  2030-2050  period  in  both  the  RCP  2.6 

and 8.5 scenarios. In the RCP 8.5 scenario, the temperature is 

expected to rise by an average of 0.4 °C compared with the RCP 

2.6 scenario in the 2030-2050 period, with the differential then 

widening significantly in the second half of the century. Chron-

ic changes in temperature can be analyzed to obtain information 

on the potential effects on cooling and heating demand in local 

energy systems. In terms of heating days (HDs), i.e. days with a 

temperature below 15 °C, and cooling days (CDs), or days with 

a temperature above 24 °C, the 2030-2050 period will see HDs 

decrease by 14% and CDs increase by 60% in the RCP 2.6 sce-

nario, while the RCP 8.5 scenario will see a larger decline in HDs 

(-17%) and a larger increase in CDs (+80%).

less intense, with the trend slowing in the second half of the 

century, thereby producing a substantial differential between 

RCP 2.6

the two scenarios in 2100.

The scenarios are global in nature. Accordingly, in order to de-

termine their effects in the areas of relevance for the Group, 

a collaborative initiative has been started with the Earth Sci-

RCP 8.5

ences department of the International Center for Theoretical 

Physics  (ICTP)  of  Trieste.  As  part  of  this  collaboration,  the 

ICTP provides projections for the major climate variables with 

a  grid  resolution  of  50  km2  and  a  forecast  horizon  running 

from 2030 to 2050. The main variables are average tempera-

tures, rainfall and snowfall and solar radiation. The first phase 

of the study conducted in 2019 involved Italy and Spain, with 

the consequent definition of a preliminary physical scenario.

Acute phenomena: over the 2030-2050 period, heat waves 

are expected to increase appreciably in frequency, with their 

geographical  spread  expected  to  expand,  especially  in  the 

southern  area  of  the  country.  Extreme  rainfall  will  increase 

in intensity but its frequency will decline. At the same time, 

extreme  snowfalls  will  largely  remain  located  in  the  current 

geographical areas but their frequency and intensity could de-

cline sharply.

Chronic phenomena: the average annual temperature is ex-

pected to increase over the 2030-2050 period in both the RCP 

2.6 and 8.5 scenarios. In the RCP 8.5 scenario, the tempera-

ture is expected to rise by an average of 0.4 °C compared with 

the  RCP  2.6  scenario  in  the  2030-2050  period,  with  the  dif-

ferential then widening significantly in the second half of the 

century. In terms of heating days (HDs) and cooling days (CDs) 

the 2030-2050 period will see HDs decrease by 6% and CDs 

increase by 29% in the RCP 2.6 scenario, while the RCP 8.5

The transition scenario
The transition scenario depicts the evolution of industrial and 

business sectors in an economic, social and regulatory con-

text consistent with different trends in greenhouse gas (GHG) 

emissions and, therefore, is correlated with the RCP 2.6 and 

8.5 climate scenarios. The Group has therefore equipped it-

self with quantitative tools that incorporate assumptions re-

garding the context to produce corresponding projections for 

energy  demand,  electricity  demand,  electricity  production, 

the  penetration  of  renewables  and  electric  vehicles,  etc.:  in 

short, all the variables that characterize a national energy sys-

tem relevant to the Group’s activities.

In defining the transition scenarios, we distinguish between:

energy  context  in  terms  of  commodity  prices,  interest 

rates,  gross  domestic  product  etc.,  using  international 

benchmarks produced by entities such as the Internation-

(BNEF), International Institute for Applied Systems Analy-

sis (IIASA), etc. With regard to IIASA, for example, consid-

gy scenarios related to physical climatic scenarios are de-

veloped. The information deriving from the “SSPs” is used 

to support long-term forecasts on commodity prices;

 > assumptions concerning local policies and regulatory mea-

sures  associated  with  the  fight  against  climate  change, 

such as the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, the ef-

ficiency of the energy system, the decarbonization of the 

electricity sector, the reduction of oil consumption etc. For 

Italy and Spain, reference is made to those countries’ inte-

grated National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs), which 

are also approved at the European level, while outside Eu-

rope, reference is made to the respective national energy 

programs of the countries involved.

In  order  to  define  the  transition  scenario  for  the  electricity 

sector,  the  Group  considers  the  elements  described  above 

(physical scenarios, assumptions about the macro and ener-

gy context, regulatory developments) as prerequisites for the 

assessment of future projections of electricity demand, elec-

tricity generation, renewables etc.

In  this  context,  the  effect  of  temperature  on  electricity  de-

mand in the long term (2030-2050) has been estimated. Italian 

electricity demand is provisionally forecast to increase on av-

erage by up to 5%, due to the combined effect of the chronic 

increase in temperature and the transition of the system to-

wards greater electrification of energy consumption.

Moreover, in the RCP 8.5 physical scenario the probability of 

extremely  hot  years  increases,  leading  to  a  future  increase 

of  up  to  10%  in  electricity  demand,  together  with  the  risks 

associated  with  more  frequent  extreme  weather  events.  In 

the case of Spain, however, over the same time horizon the 

chronic effects would involve an average increase in demand 

of around 2% and, in the possible peak year of the RCP 8.5 

scenario, it could reach 4%. The smaller increase in electricity 

demand in Spain compared with Italy mainly reflects the nar-

rower scope for the future electrification of consumption, as it 

is currently already largely electrified as a consequence of the 

presence of nuclear power in the country. These effects only 

reflect the long-term impact of temperature on electricity de-

mand and the inertial evolution of the national energy system. 

They do not consider the repercussions of climate change on 

economies underscored in the IPCC’s special report on global 

warming, which could also have indirect effects on economies 

and, therefore, on electricity demand.

In terms of decarbonization, in a configuration of the scenar-

io(7) consistent with limiting global warming within the levels 

established  with  the  Paris  Agreement,  installed  renewable 

capacity should increase from 35% in 2018 to 69% in 2040 

thanks to the progressive decline in production costs and to 

the increased public awareness of climate issues. This evolu-

tion of the system towards more variable sources will require 

greater flexibility to manage the balance between generation 

and consumption. Accordingly, demand response and storage 

technologies  are  also  expected  to  grow  significantly,  also  in 

this case boosted by a steep decline in costs, which are ex-

pected to halve over the next 20 years.

Consolidated Annual Report 2019201864.4201815.8Electrification
Electrification  which means the substitution of electricity for 

other commodities in energy consumption  will play a central 

role in the Enel Group strategy.

In  line  with  the  IEA(8)  sustainable  development  scenario,  the 

share of  electricity in final global  energy consumption should 

reach 43% in 2040 (from 24% in 2018). This scenario assumes 

a significant increase in the average annual investment for end 

use, which in 2030-2040 should be almost 5 times that in 2018. 

The opportunities deriving from this trend will involve a broad 

spectrum of activities, ranging from distributed generation to 

energy efficiency upgrading for buildings and electric vehicle 

infrastructure, thus supporting the growth of companies that 

move first.

Enel’s plan seeks to achieve a stable market share in the free 

markets of European countries, supported by a 65% increase 

in the number of customers and 21% growth in volumes sold 

on the free market in 2022, mainly following the elimination 

of regulated rates in Italy, which is currently scheduled to oc-

cur at the start of 2022. In South American countries such as 

Brazil, Enel is already benefiting from the gradual opening of 

the market with long-term contracts with existing customers.

Further impetus to the electrification process will come from 

electric  mobility,  with  the  installation  of  about  736,000  re-

charging  points  by  2022,  and  more  generally  from  the  new 

services offered by Enel X.

In order to adequately support value creation from these two 

macro  trends,  the  plan  identifies  distribution  grids  as  one  of 

the main enablers. The evolution of the role of distributors will 

be a key factor in supporting the greater complexity involved 

with distributed renewable generation and electric mobility, in 

managing  the  digitalization  process  driven  by  innovative  ser-

vices offered to customers and in ensuring the resilience of the 

energy system in view of the impacts of climate change. 

Enel’s goal is to make grids more resilient and flexible and im-

prove service quality. The average system interruption frequen-

cy rate is expected to decrease by 9% in three years, with a 

simultaneous efficiency drive that will decrease opex per cus-

tomer  by  17%  in  the  same  period. The  plan  provides  for  the 

number of Smart 2.0 meters to more than double, from 13.1

Enel operates in energy markets and for this reason is exposed to changes in the prices of fuel and 
electricity, which can have a significant impact on its results if not managed effectively.
To mitigate this exposure, the Group has developed a strategy of stabilizing margins by contracting for 
supplies of fuel and the delivery of electricity to end users or wholesalers in advance.
Enel  has  also  implemented  a  formal  procedure  that  provides  for  the  measurement  of  the  residual 
commodity  risk,  the  specification  of  a  ceiling  for  maximum  acceptable  risk  and  the  implementation 
of a hedging strategy using derivatives on regulated markets and over-the-counter (OTC) markets. The 
commodity risk management process allows us to limit the impact on margins of unexpected changes 
in market prices and, at the same time, provides an adequate degree of flexibility to enable use to seize 
short-term opportunities.
In  order  to  mitigate  the  risk  of  interruption  of  fuel  supplies,  the  Group  has  developed  a  strategy  of 
diversification of supply sources, using suppliers located in different geographical areas.

In view of the geographical diversification of access to international markets for the issuance of debt 
instruments and transactions in commodities, Group companies are exposed to the risk that changes 
in exchange rates between the currency of account and other currencies could generate unexpected 
changes in the performance and financial position aggregates in their respective financial statements.
Given the current structure of Enel, the exposure to exchange rate risk is mainly linked to the US dollar 
and is attributable to:
 > cash flows in respect of the purchase or sale of fuel or electricity; 
 > cash flows in respect of investments, dividends from foreign subsidiaries or the purchase or sale of 

equity investments;

 > cash flows connected with commercial relationships;
 > financial assets and liabilities.
The Group’s consolidated financial statements are also exposed to the exchange rate risk deriving from 
the conversion into euros of the items relating to investments in companies whose currency of account 
is not the euro (translation risk).
The exchange rate risk management policy is based on systematically hedging the exposures to which 
the Group companies are exposed, with the exception of translation risk.
Appropriate  operational  processes  ensure  the  definition  and  implementation  of  appropriate  hedging 
strategies, which typically employ financial derivatives obtained on OTC markets.
Controlling risk using dedicated processes and indicators makes it possible to limit potential adverse 
financial impacts while optimizing management of the cash flows of the portfolios.

Consolidated Annual Report 2019Interest rate risk

Credit risk

Liquidity risk

The Group is exposed to the risk that changes in the level of interest rates could produce unexpected 
changes in net financial expense or the value of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value.
The exposure to interest rate risk derives mainly from the variability of the terms of financing, in the 
case of new debt, and from the variability of the cash flows in respect of interest on floating-rate debt.
The  policy  for  managing  interest  rate  risk  seeks  to  contain  financial  expense  and  its  volatility  by 
optimizing  the  Group’s  portfolio  of  financial  liabilities  and  by  obtaining  financial  derivatives  on  OTC 
markets.
Managing  risk  through  the  use  of  specific  processes  and  indicators  enables  us  to  limit  any  adverse 
financial impact and, at the same time, to optimize the debt structure with an appropriate degree of 
flexibility.

Commercial, commodity and financial transactions expose the Group to credit risk, i.e. the possibility 
of a deterioration in the creditworthiness of our counterparties that could have an adverse impact on 
the expected value of the creditor position and, for trade receivables only, increase average collection 
times.
The exposure to credit risk is attributable to the following types of operations: 
 > the sale and distribution of electricity and gas in free and regulated markets and the supply of goods 

and services (trade receivables);

 > trading activities that involve the physical exchange of assets or transactions in financial instruments 

(the commodity portfolio);

 > trading in derivatives, bank deposits and, more generally, financial instruments (the financial portfolio).
The policy for managing credit risk associated with commercial activities and commodity transactions 
provides for a preliminary assessment of the creditworthiness of counterparties and the adoption of 
mitigation instruments, such as obtaining guarantees.
Managing  risk  through  the  use  of  specific  risk  indicators,  and  limits  where  possible,  ensures  that 
the  economic  and  financial  impacts  associated  with  a  possible  deterioration  in  creditworthiness  are 
contained  within  sustainable  levels. At  the  same  time,  the  necessary  flexibility  to  optimize  portfolio 
management is preserved.
In addition, the Group undertakes transactions to assign receivables without recourse, which results in 
the complete derecognition of the corresponding assets involved in the assignment.
Finally,  with  regard  to  financial  and  commodity  transactions,  risk  mitigation  is  pursued  through  the 
diversification of the portfolio (preferring counterparties with a high credit standing) and the adoption 
of  specific  standardized  contractual  frameworks  that  contain  risk  mitigation  clauses  (e.g.  netting 
arrangements) and possibly the exchange of cash collateral.

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group, while solvent, would not be able to discharge its obligations in 
a timely manner or would only be able to do so on unfavorable terms owing to situations of tension 
or systemic crises (credit crunches, sovereign debt crises, etc.) or changes in the perception of Group 
riskiness by the market. 
Among the factors that define the risk perceived by the market, the credit rating assigned to Enel by 
rating agencies plays a decisive role, since it influences its ability to access sources of financing and 
the related financial terms of that financing. A deterioration in the credit rating could therefore restrict 
access to the capital market and/or increase of the cost of funding, with consequent negative effects on 
the performance and financial situation of the Group.
In  2019,  Fitch  revised  its  rating  for  Enel  upwards,  from  “BBB+”  to  “A-”.  Moody’s  also  improved  its 
outlook for Enel’s rating from stable to positive during the year. Accordingly, at the end of the year, Enel’s 
rating was: (i) “BBB+” with a stable outlook for Standard & Poor’s; (ii) “A-” with a stable outlook for Fitch; 
and (iii) “Baa2” with a positive outlook for Moody’s. 
Enel’s liquidity risk management policies are designed to maintain a level of liquidity sufficient to meet 
its obligations over a specified time horizon without having recourse to additional sources of financing 
as well as to maintain a prudential liquidity buffer sufficient to meet unexpected obligations. In addition, 
in order to ensure that the Group can discharge its medium and long-term commitments, Enel pursues 
a borrowing strategy that provides for a diversified structure of financing sources to which it can turn 
and a balanced maturity profile.

Consolidated Annual Report 2019Risks connected with digital technology

The speed of technological developments that constantly generate new challenges, the ever increasing 
frequency  and  intensity  of  cyber  attacks  and  the  attraction  of  critical  infrastructures  and  strategic 
industrial sectors as targets underscore the potential risk that, in extreme cases, the normal operations 
of  companies  could  grind  to  a  halt.  Cyber  attacks  have  evolved  dramatically  in  recent  years:  their 
number has grown exponentially, as has their complexity and impact, making it increasingly difficult to 
promptly identify the source of threats. In the case of the Enel Group, this exposure reflects the many 
environments in which it operates (data, industry and people), a circumstance that accompanies the 
intrinsic complexity and interconnection of the resources that over the years have been increasingly 
integrated into the Group’s daily operating processes.
The Group has adopted a holistic governance approach to cyber security that is applied to all the sectors 
of IT (Information Technology), OT (Operational Technology) and IoT (Internet of Things). The framework 
is based on the commitment of top management, on global strategic management, on the involvement 
of all business areas as well as on the units involved in the design and management of our systems. It 
seeks to use cutting edge technologies, to design ad hoc business processes, to strengthen people’s 
IT awareness and to implement regulatory requirements for IT security.
In addition, the Group has developed an IT risk management methodology founded on “risk-based” 
and  “cyber  security  by  design”  approaches,  thus  integrating  the  analysis  of  business  risks  into  all 
strategic decisions. Enel has also created its own Cyber Emergency Readiness Team (CERT) in order to 
proactively respond to any IT security incidents.
Finally, in 2019, the Group also took out an insurance policy for cyber security risks in order to mitigate 
IT threats.

The Group is carrying out a complete digital transformation of how it manages the entire energy value 
chain, developing new business models and digitizing its business processes. A consequence of this 
digital transformation is that the Group is increasingly exposed to risks related to the functioning of the 
IT systems implemented throughout the Company, which could lead to service interruptions or data 
losses.
These risks are managed using a series of internal measures developed by the Global Digital Solutions 
(GDS) unit, which is responsible for guiding the Group’s digital transformation. It has set up an internal 
control system that introduces control points along the entire IT value chain, enabling us to prevent the 
emergence of risks engendered by such issues as the creation of services that do not meet business 
needs,  the  failure  to  implement  adequate  security  measures  and  service  interruptions. The  internal 
control system of the Global Digital Solutions unit oversees both the activities performed in-house and 
those  outsourced  to  external  associates  and  service  providers.  Furthermore,  Enel  is  promoting  the 
dissemination of a digital culture and digital skills within the Group in order to successfully guide the 
digital transformation and minimize the associated risks.

loss prevention program for property risk that 
also assesses the main exposures to natural 
events. Looking forward, the assessments will 
also include the potential impacts of long-term 
trends in the most significant climate variables.  

The Group’s geographical and technological 
diversification means that the impact of 
changes (positive and negative) in a single 
variable is mitigated at the global level. In 
order to ensure that operations always take 
account of weather and climate phenomena, 
the Group adopts a range of practices such 
as, for example, weather forecasting, real-time 
monitoring of plants and long-term climate 
scenarios.    

The Group is minimizing its exposure to risks 
through the progressive decarbonization 
of its generation fleet. The Group’s strategic 
actions, which are focused on investment 
in renewables, networks and customers, 
enable us to mitigate potential threats and 
exploit the opportunities connected with the 
energy transition. The Group is also actively 
contributing to the formation of public policies.

Acute physical changes that represent 
sources of risk and opportunity
With regard to acute physical phenomena (extreme events), 

the incidence and frequency of extreme physical phenomena 

can cause significant and unexpected physical damage to as-

sets and generate negative externalities associated with the 

interruption of service.

To assess the scale of the risks of extreme climate events, the 

in determining the processes and practices to be deployed in 

mitigating such events in the future.

Generation
With  regard  to  generation,  over  time  the  Group  has  imple-

mented targeted measures at specific sites and established 

ad hoc management activities and processes.

Measures implemented for specific sites in recent years in-

scenario results will be examined in terms of the frequency 

clude:

and intensity of the key phenomena, together with technical 

information on generation assets, taking account of the differ-

ing levels of resilience, and identifying metrics to measure po-

tential losses and any externalities caused by the interruption 

of business operations.

The intensification of the effects of climate change means it is 

essential to adopt adaptive behaviors: each catastrophic event 

represents  a  lesson  learned  for  Enel,  from  which  we  draw 

inspiration  to  strengthen  design  techniques  and  preventive 

measures to ensure the resilience of the asset portfolio.

From  this  perspective,  the  method  and  the  information  ex-

tracted from the ex post analysis of events play a crucial role 

 > improving cooling water management systems for certain 

plants in order to counter the problems caused by the de-

cline in water levels on rivers, such as the Po in Italy;

 > installing fogging systems to improve the flow of inlet air 

and  offset  the  reduction  in  power  output  caused  by  the 

increase in ambient temperature in CCGTs;

 > installing drainage pumps, raising embankments, periodic 

cleaning of canals and interventions to consolidate land ad-

jacent  to plants  to  prevent  landslides  in  order  to mitigate 

flood risks.

The  Group  adopts  a  series  of  best  practices  to  manage  the 

impact of weather events on power generation, such as:

Group practices

weather events

operations

 > Weather  forecasting  both  to  monitor  renewable  resource  availability  and  detect  extreme  events, 

with warning systems to ensure the protection of people and assets.

 > Insurance policies to cover damage to assets and the negative externalities caused, for example, by 

lost electricity production.

 > Real-time remote monitoring of generation plants.
 > Safe rooms in areas exposed to tornadoes and hurricanes, such as the wind farms in Oklahoma in 

the United States.

In  addition,  in  order  to  ensure  rapid  response  to  adverse 

events, the Group has adopted specific emergency manage-

improve  the  electricity  distribution  grid. This  new  approach 

has been structured over the past few years in a body of doc-

umentation that governs the measures to be taken in prepara-

tion for a grid emergency once the damage has been caused. 

More specifically, the 4R strategy comprises:

68

Consolidated Annual Report 2019 
An  initial “risk  prevention”  phase,  which  includes  all  actions  to  reduce  the  probability  of  losing  grid 
components due to an event and/or to minimize its effects. This is pursued both through measures to 
enhance the robustness of grid infrastructure in extreme weather events and maintenance measures. 
Measures to reinforce the grid have been implemented not only to improve service quality in general, 
but also to reduce the risk of prolonged or widespread outages in the event of a malfunction, using 
a probabilistic approach. This approach has mainly been used to reduce the risk of outages at critical 
installations  (primary  substations)  or  for  particular  grid  configurations  (where  no  alternative  power 
supply routes are available).
In  Italy,  to  prevent  service  interruptions  due  to  the  breakage  of  overhead  power  lines  as  a  result  of 
snowfall,  the  risk  of  such  interruptions  has  been  assessed  on  the  basis  of  the  probability  of  losing 
segments of the grid and then calculating the relative impact in terms of customers without power 
and the loss in terms of power not delivered. To address these risks, investments include the targeted 
replacement of uninsulated lines with insulated conductors, increasing the number of alternative routes 
to restore power and the use of remote control systems to isolate the section of the grid affected by 
the fault as quickly as possible.
Again in Italy, the measures to increase resilience are contained in the three-year investment plan of 
e-distribuzione and are designed to limit the risk of service interruptions caused by the main critical 
factors that may impact e-distribuzione’s medium-voltage grid. The measures for the 2017-2021 period 
involve some 4 million customers and over 7,000 km of medium-voltage lines.  

A  subsequent “readiness”  phase  that  includes  all  measures  to  improve  the  timeliness  with  which 
potentially risky events are identified, ensuring coordination with the Civil Protection Department and 
local  officials,  as  well  as  to  prepare  intervention  measures  once  a  fault  has  occurred.  Examples  of 
measures  include  systems  for  forecasting  meteorological  events  and  their  impact  on  the  grid,  the 
provisioning  of  adequate  equipment  to  build  temporary  plant  or  emergency  grid  structures,  the 
preparation of operational plans and the organization of exercises. One of the most important measures 
is  certainly  the  definition  of  agreements  for  the  mobilization  of  designated  extraordinary  resources 
to respond to an emergency. These include both internal resources and the resources of contracting 
companies operating in other areas of a country and/or in other countries. 

4R - Risk 

prevention

4R - Readiness

4R - Response

The  third  phase  is  the “response”  phase,  meaning  the  operational  response  capacity  for  a  specific 
extreme event, which is directly correlated with the ability to mobilize operational resources in the field 
and with the availability of grid backup and redundancies.

4R - Recovery

The final phase is the “recovery” phase, which seeks to restore an acceptable and safe level of service 
in the shortest possible time.

Response  and  recovery  are  complementary. The  philosophy 

of the most effective strategy to manage the repair of power 

that guides interventions in these two phases is that excep-

repercussions on our business, 
risks and opportunities
With  regard  to  the  risks  and  opportunities  associated  with 

transition variables, we use the different reference scenarios 

in  combination  with  the  various  elements  that  make  up  the 

risk identification process (e.g. competitive context, long-term 

vision of the industry, materiality analysis, etc.) to identify the 

drivers of potential risks and opportunities. Priority is given to 

the  most  material  phenomena. The  main  risks  and  opportu-

nities identified within this framework are described below.

Policy & Regulation 

Limits on 
emissions and 
carbon pricing 

Incentives for the 
energy transition

The enactment of laws and regulations that introduce more stringent emission limits by government 
action (non-market driven) and market-based mechanisms, such as a carbon tax in non-ETS (Emissions 
Trading System) sectors or an expansion of the ETS in other sectors.

 > Opportunities: command & control regulations and market-based mechanisms strengthening CO2 

price signals to foster investment in carbon-free technologies.

 > Risks: lack of a coordinated approach  among the various actors and policy-makers involved and 
limited effectiveness of the policy instruments deployed, with an impact on the speed of the trend 
towards electrification and decarbonization in the various sectors, compared with a decisive group 
strategy focused on the energy transition.

Development incentives and opportunities with a view to the energy transition, consequently guiding 
the energy system towards the use of low-emission energy resources as the mainstream approach 
in  the  energy  mixes  of  countries,  greater  electrification  of  energy  consumption,  energy  efficiency, 
flexibility of the electrical system and upgrading of infrastructure, with a positive impact on the return 
on investment and new business opportunities.

 > Opportunities:  additional  volumes  and  greater  margins  due  to  additional  investment  in  the 
electricity industry, in line with the electrification strategy, decarbonization and the upgrading of 
enabling infrastructure.

 > Risks:  obstacles  to  achieving  energy  transition  targets  due  to  regulatory  systems  that  do  no 
effectively support the energy transition (delays in permitting, no upgrading of the electricity grid, 
etc.).

Resilience 
regulation

To improve standards or introduce ad hoc mechanisms to incentivize investments in resilience in the 
context of the evolution of climate change.

 > Opportunities: benefits from investments that reduce service quality and continuity risks for the 

community.

 > Risks: in the case of especially severe extreme events with a greater-than-expected impact, there 

is a risk that recovery could be slower than planned, with an associated reputational risk.).

Financial measures 
for the energy 
transition

Incentives for the energy transition through appropriate policy measures and financial instruments, 
which should be capable of supporting an investment framework and a long-term, credible and stable 
positioning  of  policy-makers.  Introduction  of  rules  and/or  public  and  private  financial  instruments 
(e.g. funds, mechanisms, taxonomies, benchmarks) aimed at integrating sustainability into financial 
markets and public finance instruments.

 > Opportunities:  the  creation  of  new  markets  and  sustainable  finance  products  consistent  with 
the investment framework, activating greater public resources for decarbonization and access to 
financial resources in line with energy transition objectives and the related impact on costs and on 
finance charges; introduction of subsidized support tools (funds and calls) for the transition.

 > Risks: actions and instruments are not sufficient to provide incentives consistent with an overall 
positioning tailored to the energy transition, uncertainty or slowdown in the introduction of new 
instruments and rules due to the deterioration in the public finances or differences in application in 
the geographic areas in which the Group operates.

Consolidated Annual Report 2019Market

Market  dynamics,  such  as  those  connected  with  the  variability  of  commodity  prices,  the  increase 
in electricity consumption due to the energy transition and the penetration of renewables, have an 
impact on business drivers, with effects on margins and on production and sales volumes.

Market dynamics

 > Opportunities: positive effects associated with the growth in electricity demand and the greater 

room for renewables and all sources of flexibility.

 > Risks:  less  room  in  the  market  for  residual  thermal  generation  technologies  in  the  short  term. 
However,  as  the  penetration  of  renewables  in  the  electricity  mix  increases,  the  system  could 
require greater flexibility, including regulated gas-fired generation.

Technology 

Penetration of new 
technologies

Gradual  penetration  of  new  technologies  such  as  storage  and  demand  response;  digital  lever  to 
transform operating models and “platform” business models.

 > Opportunities: investments in developing technology solutions.

Products and Services

Electrification of 
residential energy 
consumption

Electric mobility 
and electrification 
of industrial energy 
consumption

With  the  gradual  electrification  of  end  uses,  the  penetration  of  products  with  lower  costs  and  a 
smaller impact in terms of residential emissions will expand (for example, the use of heat pumps for 
heating and cooling).

 > Opportunities: increase in electricity consumption.

 > Risks: additional competition in this market segment.

Use of more efficient and effective modes of transportation from the point of view of climate change, 
with a special focus on the development of electric mobility and charging infrastructure; electrification 
of large-scale industrial energy users.

Risk management

71

Enel GroupGovernanceStrategy & Risk ManagementPerformance & MetricsOutlookConsolidated financial statementsTo quantify the risks and opportunities engendered by the energy transition in the medium term, two scenarios have been 

considered for Italy and Spain:

“Current policies” scenario

Based  on  the  current  energy  transition  policies  of  Italy  and  Spain  (PNIEC),  which  are 
presumably consistent with an intermediate climate scenario between RCP 8.5 and RCP 
2.6. The “current  policies”  scenario  considered  for  the  two  countries,  while  among  the 
less ambitious scenarios of RCP 2.6, represents a plausible outlook in that it derives from 
policies that have already been approved and which will probably not be disregarded. At a 
global level, however, if the world’s leading countries do not adopt effective decarbonization 
policies, instead pursuing policies that produce no change or actually worsen conditions, 
the “current policies” approach could still lead to a climate scenario in line with SPC 8.5.

“Accelerated policies” 

scenario

Based on potential rapid transition policies aimed at achieving CO2 reduction targets that 
are presumably consistent with the RCP 2.6 scenario. This scenario also incorporates an 
increase in energy efficiency and a drive to electrify end-user energy consumption.

Net electricity generation in 2019 totaled 229.1 TWh, a decrease on 2018 that reflected an 18.7% decline in thermal 
generation compared with the previous year, mainly due to a reduction in coal-fired generation (-41.6% compared with 
2018). Contributing to this development, which was connected with the decarbonization of the generation mix cited 
above, were operations in Italy and Spain, as well as the sale of the Reftinskaya power plant in Russia.

At the end of December 2019, the Group’s total net efficient  installed capacity was 84.3 GW, down 1.3 GW from 2018, 
mainly due to the sale of the Reftinskaya coal-fired power plant in Russia. This reduction was partially offset by the entry 
into operation of new renewable plants, mainly wind and solar in Spain, Mexico and the United States.

(1)  The Scope values for 2018 have been modified by adding the new calculation categories introduced in 2019.
(2)  Scope 2 emissions for electricity purchased from the grid have been recalculated to take account of an expansion of the calculation basis.
(3)  Specific emissions are calculated considering total emissions from thermal generation as a ratio of total renewable, nuclear and thermal generation (including 

the contribution of heat).

(4)  The calculation does not consider Italian O&G plants being decommissioned or of marginal impact. In addition, the figures do not take account of consumption 
and generation for cogeneration relating to Russian thermal generation plants. Average efficiency is calculated on the basis of the plant fleet and is weighted 
by generation.

managed the water we use efficiently through ongoing moni-

scarcity. Enel employs the following levels of analysis: 

Enel’s  environmental  policy.  The  Group  promotes  specific 

projects in the various areas in which we operate in order to 

help protect local species, their natural habitats, and the lo-

cal ecosystems in general. These projects cover a vast range 

of  areas,  including:  inventory  and  monitoring;  programs  to 

protect  specific  species;  methodological  research  and  other 

studies; repopulation and reforestation; and the construction 

of infrastructure supports to promote the presence and activ-

ities of various species (e.g. artificial nests along power dis-

The decrease in net generation was essentially due to a sharp 

increase of 6,846 million kWh in combined-cycle generation, 

decrease in coal generation in the amount of 26,774 million 

mainly in Italy (3,013 million kWh), Iberia (2,731 million kWh) 

kWh, including Iberia (14,673 million kWh), Italy (7,941 million 

and Latin America (1,092 million kWh). The increase in nuclear 

kWh)  and  Russia  (5,239  million  kWh)  as  a  result  of  the  de-

generation can be attributed to the increased use of nuclear 

cline in their competitiveness. This was partially offset by an 

energy in Iberia due to poor water availability.

The European regulatory framework

“Clean Energy for all Europeans” 
legislative package

The “Clean Energy for all Europeans” legislative package, pro-

posed by the European Commission in 2016, laid the founda-

tion necessary for achieving greater integration and regionali-

zation of markets for electricity, balancing, flexibility services 

and capacity. Following the inter-institutional agreement rea-

ched  in  2018,  the  following  regulations  and  directives  com-

pleting the package were published in the Official Journal of 

the European Union on June 14, 2019: the Electricity Market 

Regulation  (2019/943),  the  ACER  Regulation  (2019/942),  the 

Risk  Preparedness  Regulation  (2019/941)  and  the  Electricity 

was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 

April 25, 2019 and entered force on May 15, 2019. Regulation 
(EU) 2019/1242 setting CO2 emission performance standards 
for new heavy-duty vehicles for 2025 and 2030 was published 

in the Official Journal of the European Union on July 25, 2019 

and entered force on August 14, 2019. Finally, Directive (EU) 

2019/1161 on the promotion of clean and energy-efficient road 

transport vehicles was published in the Official Journal of the 

European Union on July 12, 2019 and entered force on August 

1, 2019. While the regulations will be directly applicable fol-

lowing the publication of the text in the Official Journal of the 

European Union, the directive will have to be transposed with 

specific legislation in the Member States within two years of 

Market Directive (2019/944). The measures entered force on 

entry into force.

July  4,  2019,  with  the  regulations  taking  immediate  effect, 

while  the  directive  must  be  transposed  into  the  law  of  the 

various EU countries by December 31, 2020. 

The new legislation fosters the integration of the different te-

chnologies and the participation of diverse market operators. 

It  also  opens  up  the  possible  development  of  mechanisms 

to provide long-term signals to investment in decarbonization 

(e.g. auctions, PPAs) and the adequacy of the electricity sy-

stem (the capacity market).

The “Clean Mobility” legislative 
package 

The  “Clean  Mobility”  legislative  package,  proposed  by  the 

European Commission in three separate packages between 

2017 and 2018, contains a series of legislative proposals and 
other  initiatives  intended  to  make  traffic  safer,  reduce  CO2 
emissions and air pollution, support the development of zero- 

and low-emission vehicles and the creation of a supply chain 

for  the  production  of  European  batteries.  In  2019,  following 

an inter-institutional agreement reached in 2018, the final legi-

slation completing the package was published in the Official 

Journal of the European Union. Regulation (EU) 2019/631 set-
ting CO2 emission performance standards for new passenger 
cars and for new light commercial vehicles for 2025 and 2030 

Sustainable finance

In December 2019 the European Parliament and the Council 

of the European Union reached an agreement on a proposed 

regulation  on  a  classification  system  for  sustainable  econo-

mic activities (taxonomy), with the aim of enhancing private 

and public investments to finance the transition to a climate 

neutral and green economy. Formal approval of the regulation 

is expected to come in the 1st Quarter of 2020.

Also in December 2019, a regulation concerning low-carbon 

benchmarks  and  positive  carbon  impact  benchmarks  was

Communication

On  December  11,  2019,  the  European  Commission  presen-

ted  the “European  Green  Deal”  (EGD). The  communication 

outlines a series of initiatives aimed at enabling European citi-

zens and businesses to benefit from a green and sustainable 

transition. It is an integral part of the European Commission’s 

strategy  to  implement  the  United  Nations’  2030  agenda  for 

sustainable development. The European Green Deal includes 

initiatives on climate, environment, industrial strategy, green 

finance,  financing,  sustainability  and  society  and  legislative 

proposals that will be presented in 2020 and 2021.

 > The Commission will propose the first European ‘Climate 

Law’  by  March  2020,  aimed  at  reflecting  greater  climate 

ambition and enshrining the 2050 European climate neu-

trality objective in legislation.

 > An  assessment  of  measures  to  increase  the  EU’s  gre-

enhouse gas emission reductions target for 2030 to at le-

ast 50% and towards 55% (replacing the current reduction 

target of 40%) is also envisaged. To this end, the Europe-

an Commission will launch a review of all relevant clima-

te-related  policy  instruments  in  order  to  align  them  with 

the new climate targets. This will comprise the Emissions 

Trading System (ETS) and the possibility of extending it to 

new sectors, the Energy Taxation Directive and the intro-

duction  of  a “carbon  border  adjustment  mechanism”  for 

specific sectors aimed at reducing the risk of “carbon lea-

kage” and preserving the competitiveness of EU industry.

 > The update of the national energy and climate plans envi-

saged in 2023 will be assessed with a view to increasing 

climate ambitions and supporting renewable energy. In ad-

dition, a process will be launched to review the legislative 

dossiers relating to energy and the development of energy 

infrastructures.

 > During 2020, initiatives will be proposed to support offsho-

re wind and the smart integration of various sectors.

 > A  new  industrial  strategy  aimed  at  achieving  the  climate 

neutrality objective and an action plan for the circular eco-

nomy are expected in March 2020. Furthermore, support 

for  IPCEIs,  large  alliances  and  new  forms  of  cooperation 

with industry and support for investments in strategic va-

lue chains will be strengthened.

 > In 2020, a strategy for sustainable and intelligent mobility 

will be presented aimed at making transport more efficient 

and cleaner. In addition, the Commission will propose the 

phasing  out  of  fossil  fuel  subsidies,  the  extension  of  the 

ETS to the maritime sector, the revision of TEN-T and the 

Alternative  Fuels  Infrastructure  Directive  and  the  revision 

of  the  regulations  concerning  pollution  and  greenhouse 

gas emissions for internal combustion vehicles.

 > A new initiative will be presented aimed at promoting bu-

ilding renovation with the aim of combating both climate 

change and energy poverty, and the extension of the ETS 

to include emissions from buildings will be considered.

 > An  action  plan  to  reduce  air,  water  and  soil  pollution  will 

be adopted in 2021, including a revision of air quality stan-

dards and measures to address pollution from large indu-

strial plants.

 > A proposal will be advanced for a new sustainable invest-

ment plan that includes a “just transition mechanism” and 

“just transition fund” aimed at helping vulnerable regions 

and sectors that are heavily dependent on fossil fuels and 

mobilizing the funds necessary to achieve the objectives of 

the European Green Deal.

 > The European Investment Bank (EIB) will be transformed 

into  a “climate  bank”  by  allocating  50%  of  all  lending  to 

projects aimed at achieving climate objectives.

 > Resources in EU funding programs will be reallocated so 

that  at  least  25%  of  their  budgets  go  to  climate-related 

projects and activities (30% of the InvestEU Fund).

 > By 2021, EU guidelines on state aid, including environmen-

tal  and  energy  aid,  will  be  revised,  while  support  will  be 

given to national tax reforms designed to increase public 

investment by EU countries to achieve the objectives set 

out in the European Green Deal.

State aid rules

After the lengthy reform of the rules governing state aid ini-

tiated in 2012, known as “State Aid Modernization”, the Euro-

pean Commission has decided to prolong the validity of the 

regulations, communications and guidelines expiring in 2020 

until 2021.

At the same time, the Commission began a review process 

for  state  aid  rules,  which  will  be  completed  by  the  end  of 

2021. 

Last  July,  the  first  phase  of  a  public  consultation  on  aid  for 

environmental  protection  and  energy  was  completed  (Com-

munication  2014/C  200/01  and  Section  7  of  Regulation  (EU) 

no. 651/2014). The guidelines involved in the evaluation were 

considered effective, however most responses underscored 

the need for a revision of state aid rules to ensure consisten-

cy with current technological and economic developments.

Electricity market

Following  a  government  emergency  order  issued  in  late 

2018,  which  represented  a  step  backwards  in  the  process 

of  deregulating  the  electricity  and  gas  markets  in  Romania, 

customers who had elected to enter the free market were au-

thorized to return to the regulated regime, generating losses 

for  service  providers  in  the  free  market. These  losses  were 

caused  by  the  decision  of  the  national  regulatory  authority 

ANRE to not reimburse the total costs incurred to provision 

electricity supplied to end users in the regulated regime. This 

continued in 2019. At the end of 2019 and throughout 2020, 

the national regulatory authority adopted a series of regulated 

bilateral wholesale contracts with low-cost generators for the 

protected retail segment that will enable recovery of the los-

ses of the past two years.

energy  transition  and  linked  to  the  global  trends  that  are 

sweeping  through  the  energy  industry:  decarbonization  and

Overall,  the  Group  expects  to  invest  €28.7  billion  over  the

for climate action.

Under our dividend policy, over the plan period Enel will con-

hydroelectric plants subsequent to enactment of 
Law 134/2012
Law 134 of August 7, 2012 containing “urgent measures for 

growth”  (published  in  the  Gazzetta  Ufficiale  of  August  11, 

2012) introduced a sweeping overhaul of the rules governing 

hydroelectric concessions. Among its various provisions, the 

law establishes that five years before the expiration of a ma-

jor hydroelectric water diversion concession and in cases of 

lapse,  relinquishment  or  revocation,  where  there  is  no  pre-

vailing public interest for a different use of the water, incom-

patible with its use for hydroelectric generation, the compe-

tent public entity shall organize a public call for tender for the 

award for consideration of the concession for a period ranging 

from 20 to a maximum of 30 years.

In  order  to  ensure  operational  continuity,  the  law  also  gov-

erns the methods of transfer ownership of the business unit 

necessary to operate the concession, including all legal rela-

tionships relating to the concession, from the outgoing con-

cession holder to the new concession holder, in exchange for 

payment of a price to be determined in negotiations between 

the departing concession holder and the grantor agency, tak-

ing due account of the following elements:

 > for intake and governing works, penstocks and outflow chan-

nels,  which  under  the  consolidated  law  governing  waters 

and  electrical  plants  are  to  be  relinquished  free  of  charge 

(Article 25 of Royal Decree 1775 of December 11, 1933), the 

revalued cost less government capital grants, also revalued, 

received  by  the  concession  holder  for  the  construction  of 

such works, depreciated for ordinary wear and tear;

 > for other property, plant and equipment, the market value, 

meaning replacement value, reduced by estimated depre-

ciation for ordinary wear and tear.

While acknowledging that the new regulations introduce im-

portant changes as to the transfer of ownership of the busi-

ness  unit  with  regard  to  the  operation  of  the  hydroelectric 

concession, the practical application of these principles faces 

difficulties, given the uncertainties that do not permit the for-

mulation of a reliable estimate of the value that can be recov-

ered at the end of existing concessions (residual value).

Accordingly, management has decided it could not produce a 

reasonable and reliable estimate of residual value.

The  fact  that  the  legislation  requires  the  new  concession 

holder to make a payment to the departing concession holder 

prompted management to review the depreciation schedules 

for assets classified as to be relinquished free of charge prior 

to Law 134/2012 (until the year ended on December 31, 2011, 

given that the assets were to be relinquished free of charge, 

the  depreciation  period  was  equal  to  the  closest  date  be-

tween the term of the concession and the end of the useful 

life of the individual asset), calculating depreciation no longer 

over the term of the concession but, if longer, over the eco-

nomic and technical life of the individual assets. If additional 

information becomes available to enable the calculation of re-

sidual value, the carrying amounts of the assets involved will 

be adjusted prospectively. 

Determining the fair value of financial instruments
The  fair  value  of  financial  instruments  is  determined  on  the 

basis  of  prices  directly  observable  in  the  market,  where 

available,  or,  for  unlisted  financial  instruments,  using  specif-

ic valuation techniques (mainly based on present value) that 

maximize the use of observable market inputs. In rare circum-

stances were this is not possible, the inputs are estimated by 

management taking due account of the characteristics of the 

instruments being measured. 

In accordance with IFRS 13, the Group includes a measure-

ment of credit risk, both of the counterparty (Credit Valuation 

Adjustment or CVA) and its own (Debit Valuation Adjustment 

or  DVA),  in  order  to  adjust  the  fair  value  of  financial  instru-

ments for the corresponding amount of counterparty risk, us-

ing the method discussed in note 47. Changes in the assump-

tions made in estimating the input date could have an impact 

on the fair value recognized for those instruments.

Development costs
In  order  to  determine  the  recoverability  of  development 

costs, the recoverable amount is estimated making assump-

tions regarding any further cash outflow that is expected to 

be incurred before the asset is ready for use or sale, the dis-

count rates to be applied and the expected period of benefits.

Pensions and other post-employment benefits
Some of the Group’s employees participate in pension plans 

offering  benefits  based  on  their  wage  history  and  years  of 

service. Certain employees are also eligible for other post-em-

ployment benefit schemes.

The  expenses  and  liabilities  of  such  plans  are  calculated  on 

the  basis  of  estimates  carried  out  by  consulting  actuaries, 

who use a combination of statistical and actuarial elements 

in  their  calculations,  including  statistical  data  on  past  years 

and forecasts of future costs. Other components of the esti-

mation that are considered include mortality and withdrawal 

rates as well as assumptions concerning future developments 

in discount rates, the rate of wage increases, the inflation rate 

and trends in healthcare cost.

Business combinations carried out as from January 1, 2010 are 

recognized on the basis of IFRS 3 (2008), which is referred to as 

IFRS 3 (Revised) hereafter. 

More specifically, business combinations are recognized using 

the acquisition method, where the purchase cost (the consider-

ation transferred) is equal to the fair value at the purchase date 

of  the  assets  acquired  and  the  liabilities  incurred  or  assumed, 

as well as any equity instruments issued by the purchaser. The

The  consideration  transferred  is  allocated  by  recognizing  the

Any resulting exchange rate gains or losses are recognized as 

a separate component of equity in a special reserve. The gains 

and losses are recognized proportionately in the income state-

ment on the disposal (partial or total) of the subsidiary.

Business combinations
Business  combinations  initiated  before  January  1,  2010  and 

completed within that financial year are recognized on the basis 

of IFRS 3 (2004). 

Such  business  combinations  were  recognized  using  the  pur-

assets, liabilities and identifiable contingent liabilities of the ac-

quired company at their fair values as at the acquisition date. 

Any  positive  difference  between  the  price  paid,  measured 

at  fair  value  as  at  the  acquisition  date,  plus  the  value  of  any 

non-controlling interests, and the net value of the identifiable 

assets  and  liabilities  of  the  acquiree  measured  at  fair  value

The useful life of leasehold improvements is determined on 

the basis of the term of the lease or, if shorter, on the duration 

of the benefits produced by the improvements themselves.

Land is not depreciated as it has an indefinite useful life.

Assets  recognized  under  property,  plant  and  equipment  are 

derecognized  either  upon  their  disposal  (i.e.,  at  the  date  the 

recipient obtains control) or when no future economic benefit 

is expected from their use or disposal. Any gain or loss, rec-

ognized through profit or loss, is calculated as the difference 

between the net disposal proceeds, determined in accordance 

with the transaction price requirements of IFRS 15, and the net 

carrying amount of the derecognized assets.

Assets to be relinquished free of charge 
The Group’s plants include assets to be relinquished free of 

the  concessions  are  not  renewed,  at  those  dates  all  intake 

and governing works, penstocks, outflow channels and other 

assets on public lands were to be relinquished free of charge 

to the State in good operating condition. Accordingly, depre-

ciation on assets to be relinquished was calculated over the 

shorter of the term of the concession and the remaining use-

ful life of the assets.

In the wake of the legislative changes introduced with Law 

134  of  August  7,  2012,  the  assets  previously  classified  as 

assets  “to  be  relinquished  free  of  charge”  connected  with 

the hydroelectric water diversion concessions are now con-

sidered in the same manner as other categories of “property, 

plant and equipment” and are therefore depreciated over the 

economic and technical life of the asset (where this exceeds 

the term of the concession), as discussed in the paragraph 

above on the “Depreciable value of certain elements of Ital-

ian  hydroelectric  plants  subsequent  to  enactment  of  Law 

134/2012”, which you are invited to consult for more details. 

In accordance with Spanish laws 29/1985 and 46/1999, hy-

droelectric power stations in Spanish territory operate under 

administrative concessions at the end of which the plants will 

be returned to the government in good operating condition. 

The terms of the concessions extend up to 2067. 

A number of generation companies that operate in Argentina, 

Brazil and Mexico hold administrative concessions with simi-

lar conditions to those applied under the Spanish concession 

system. These concessions will expire by 2088.

Infrastructures serving a concession
As regards the distribution of electricity, the Group is a con-

cession holder in Italy for this service. The concession, grant-

ed by the Ministry for Economic Development, was issued 

free of charge and terminates on December 31, 2030. If the 

concession  is  not  renewed  upon  expiry,  the  grantor  is  re-

quired to pay an indemnity. The amount of the indemnity will 

be determined by agreement of the parties using appropriate 

valuation methods, based on both the balance-sheet value of 

the assets themselves and their profitability. 

In determining the indemnity, such profitability will be represent-

ed by the present value of future cash flows. The infrastructure 

serving the concessions is owned and available to the conces-

sion  holder.  It  is  recognized  under  “Property,  plant  and  equip-

ment” and is depreciated over the useful lives of the assets. 

185

Enel GroupGovernanceStrategy & Risk ManagementPerformance & MetricsOutlookConsolidated financial statementsNotes to the financial statementsEnel also operates under administrative concessions for the 

distribution  of  electricity  in  other  countries  (including  Spain 

and Romania). These concessions give the right to build and 

operate distribution networks for an indefinite period of time.

Infrastructures within the scope 
of “IFRIC 12 - Service concession 
arrangements”
Under a “public-to-private” service concession arrangement 

within the scope of “IFRIC 12 - Service concession arrange-

ments”,  the  operator  acts  as  a  service  provider  and,  in  ac-

cordance  with  the  terms  specified  in  the  contract,  it  con-

structs/upgrades the infrastructure used to provide a public 

service and operates and maintains that infrastructure for the 

period of the concession. 

The Group, as operator, does not account for the infrastruc-

ture within the scope of IFRIC 12 as property, plant and equip-

ment and it recognizes and measures revenue in accordance 

with IFRS 15 for the services it performs. In particular, when 

the  Group  provides  construction  or  upgrade  services,  de-

pending on the characteristics of the service concession ar-

rangement, it recognizes:

 > a  financial  asset,  if  the  Group  has  an  unconditional  con-

tractual  right  to  receive  cash  or  another  financial  asset 

from the grantor (or from a third party at the direction of 

the grantor), that is the grantor has little discretion to avoid 

payment. In this case, the grantor contractually guarantees 

to pay to the operator specified or determinable amounts 

or  the  shortfall  between  the  amounts  received  from  the 

users of the public service and specified or determinable 

amounts (defined by the contract), and such payments are 

not dependent on the usage of the infrastructure; and/or

 > an  intangible  asset,  if  the  Group  receives  the  right  (a  li-

cense) to charge users of the public service provided. In 

such a case, the operator does not have an unconditional 

right to receive cash because the amounts are contingent 

Leases 
The Group holds property, plant and equipment for its various 

activities under lease contracts. At inception of a contract, the 

Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease.

For  contracts  entered  into  or  changed  on  or  after  January 

1, 2019, the Group has applied the definition of a lease un-

der IFRS 16, that is met if the contract conveys the right to 

control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in 

exchange for consideration. 

Conversely,  for  contracts  entered  into  before  January  1, 

2019, the Group determined whether the arrangement was 

or contained a lease under IFRIC 4. 

Group as a lessee
At commencement or on modification of a contract that con-

tains a lease component and one or more additional lease or 

non-lease  components,  the  Group  allocates  the  considera-

tion in the contract to each lease component on the basis of 

its relative stand-alone prices. 

The Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability 

at  the  commencement  date  of  the  lease  (i.e.,  the  date  the 

underlying asset is available for use).

The right-of-use asset represents a lessee’s right to use an 

underlying  asset  for  the  lease  term;  it  is  initially  measured 

at cost, which includes the initial amount of a lease liability 

adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the com-

mencement date less any lease incentives received, plus any 

initial  direct  costs  incurred  and  an  estimate  of  costs  to  dis-

mantle and remove the underlying asset and to restore the 

underlying asset or the site on which it is located.

Right-of-use  assets  are  subsequently  depreciated  on  a 

straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the 

estimated useful lives of the right-of-use assets, as follows:

At each reporting date, non-financial assets are reviewed to 

determine whether there is evidence of impairment. 

Goodwill, intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and 

intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for re-

coverability annually or more frequently if there is evidence 

suggesting that the assets can be impaired.

 > financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive 

income with recycling of cumulative gains and losses (debt

Financial assets at fair value through other

This  category  includes  mainly  equity  investments  in  unlisted

rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments 

of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

This category mainly includes listed debt securities not classi-

Financial  assets  at  fair  value  through  other  comprehensive 

income are assets held within a business model whose ob-

jective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows 

and selling financial assets and whose contractual cash flows 

give  rise,  on  specified  dates,  to  cash  flows  that  are  solely 

payments  of  principal  and  interest  on  the  principal  amount

Such financial assets are initially recognized at fair value with 

subsequent gains and losses from changes in their fair value

 > the contractual right to receive the cash flows associated 

with the asset expires;

receive the cash flows of the asset or assuming a contrac-

Financial  liabilities  are  derecognized  when  they  are  extin-

charged, cancelled or expired.

When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from 

the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms 

of  an  existing  liability  are  substantially  modified,  such  an  ex-

Embedded derivatives 
An embedded derivative is a derivative included in a “combined” 

contract (the so-called “hybrid instrument”) that contains anoth-

er non-derivative contract (the so-called host contract) and gives 

rise to some or all of the combined contract’s cash flows.

The main Group’s contracts that may contain embedded deriva-

tives are contracts to buy or sell non-financial items with claus-

es or options that affect the contract price, volume or maturity. 

A derivative embedded in a hybrid contract containing a finan-

cial  asset  host  is  not  accounted  for  separately. The  financial 

asset host together with the embedded derivative is required 

to be classified in its entirety as a financial asset at fair value 

through profit or loss.

Contracts  that  do  not  represent  financial  instruments  to  be 

measured at fair value are analyzed in order to identify any em-

bedded derivatives, which are to be separated and measured at 

fair value. This analysis is performed when the Group becomes 

party to the contract or when the contract is renegotiated in a

4.2  Argentina - Hyperinflationary 
economy: impact of the 
application of IAS 29

As from July 1, 2018, the Argentine economy has been con-

sidered  hyperinflationary  based  on  the  criteria  established 

by “IAS 29 - Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Econo-

mies”. This designation is determined following an assess-

ment of a series of qualitative and quantitative circumstanc-

es, including the presence of a cumulative inflation rate of 

In  order  to  also  take  account  of  the  impact  of  hyperinfla-

tion on the exchange rate of the local currency, the income 

statement balances expressed in the hyperinflationary cur-

rency  have  been  translated  into  the  Group’s  presentation 

currency  (euro)  applying,  in  accordance  with  IAS  21,  the 

closing  exchange  rate  rather  than  the  average  rate  for  the 

period in order to adjust these amounts to current values.

The cumulative changes in the general price indices at De-

cember 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019 are shown in the 

more than 100% over the previous three years.

following table:

For  the  purposes  of  preparing  the  consolidated  financial 

statements and in accordance with IAS 29, certain items of 

the balance sheets of the investees in Argentina have been 

remeasured by applying the general consumer price index 

to historical data in order to reflect changes in the purchas-

ing  power  of  the  Argentine  peso  at  the  reporting  date  for 

those companies.

Bearing in mind that the Enel Group acquired control of the 

Argentine companies on June 25, 2009, the remeasurement 

of the non-monetary balance-sheet figures was conducted 

by applying the inflation indices starting from that date. In 

addition  to  being  already  reflected  in  the  opening  balance 

sheet,  the  accounting  effects  of  that  remeasurement  also 

include  changes  during  the  period.  More  specifically,  the 

effect  of  the  remeasurement  of  non-monetary  items,  the 

components of equity and the components of the income 

statement recognized in 2019 was recognized in a specific 

line  of  the  income  statement  under  financial  income  and 

expense. The associated tax effect was recognized in taxes 

for the period.

The following tables report the effects of IAS 29 on the bal-

ance at December 31, 2019 and the impact of hyperinflation 

on the main income statement items for 2019, differentiating 

between that concerning the revaluation on the basis of the 

general consumer price index and that due to the application 

of the closing exchange rate rather than the average exchange 

rate for the period in accordance with the provisions of IAS 21 

for hyperinflationary economies.

4.3  Application of IFRIC Agenda 
Decision on transactions on non-
financial items with physical 
delivery within “IFRS 9 - Financial 
Instruments”

Transition disclosures
In its Agenda Decision of March 2019, the IFRS Interpretations 

Committee (IFRIC) clarified the proper recognition of contracts 

entered into to buy or sell fixed-price non-financial items, ac-

counted for at fair value through profit or loss under IFRS 9 and 

physically settled, including energy commodities. 

Based  on  that  measure,  the  Group  changed  its  accounting 

policy for the year ended December 31, 2019, with no impact 

on net income or equity.

Past practice was based on the recognition in: 

 > “Net income/(expense) from commodity contracts measured 

at fair value” of changes in the fair value of outstanding deriv-

atives as well as of the effects in profit or loss, at the settle-

ment date, of the derecognition of derivative assets/liabilities 

deriving from the fair value measurement of those contracts;

 > “Revenue from sales and services” and “Electricity, gas and 

fuel purchases” of revenue and costs on the settlement date. 

The  current  treatment  of  such  contracts  for  non-financial 

items  that  do  not  meet  the  requirements  for  the  own  use 

exemption envisages recognition:

 > under “Revenue”  of  changes  in  fair  value  on  outstanding 

sale  contracts  as  well  as,  at  the  settlement  date,  of  the 

revenue together with the effects in profit or loss from the 

derecognition of assets/liabilities deriving from the fair val-

ue measurement of those contracts;

 > under “Costs”:

-  of changes in fair value on outstanding purchase con-

tracts; and

-  at  the  settlement  date,  of  the  associated  purchase 

costs  as  well  as  the  effects  in  profit  or  loss  from 

derecognition of assets/liabilities deriving from the fair 

value measurement of those contracts. 

Consequently  the  income  statement  line  “Net  income/(ex-

pense)  from  commodity  contracts  measured  at  fair  value” 

has been renamed as “Net income/(expense) from commodi-

ty risk management”, which currently includes only changes in 

fair value and settlement effects of energy commodity deriva-

tives without physical settlement.

North America Renewable Energy Partners (EGPNA REP), a 

joint venture 50% owned by EGPNA (now ENA) and 50% by 

General Electric Capital’s Energy Financial Services.

The  acquisition  involved  a  cash  outflow  of  €225  million,  of

to EGPNA) on the sale of the 13 companies to EGPNA.

Enel GroupGovernanceStrategy & Risk ManagementPerformance & MetricsOutlookConsolidated financial statementsNotes to the financial statementsPerformance obligations
The  following  table  provides  information  about  the  Group’s 

performance  obligations  arising  from  contracts  with  custo-

mers with reference to the main revenue streams only, with 

a summary of the specific judgments made and the related 

revenue recognition policies: 

Type of product/service

Nature and timing of satisfaction of performance 
obligation

Accounting policies

Revenue from the sale and transport of electricity/
gas to end users is recognized when these 
commodities are delivered to the customer and 
is based on the quantities provided during the 
period, even if these have not yet been invoiced. It 
is determined using estimates as well as periodic 
meter readings. Where applicable, this revenue 
is based on the rates and related restrictions 
established by law or by the Regulatory Authority 
for Energy, Networks and the Environment (ARERA) 
and analogous foreign authorities during the 
applicable period.

Sale/transport 
electricity/gas to end-
users

An electricity/gas supply agreement signed with 
an end users includes a single performance 
obligation (sale and transport of the commodity) 
because the Group has determined that the 
contract does not provide distinct goods/services 
and the promise is satisfied by transferring control 
over the commodity to the customer when it 
is delivered at the point of delivery. In order to 
determine the nature of the promise included 
in such contracts, the Group carefully analyzes 
the facts and circumstances applicable to each 
contract and commodity. 
However, the Group considers that the 
performance obligation provided for in a repetitive 
service contract, such as a supply or transport 
contract for the provision of electricity/gas to end 
users is typically satisfied over time (because the 
customer simultaneously receives and consumes 
the benefits of the commodity as it is delivered) 
as part of a series of distinct goods/services (i.e., 
each unit of commodity) that are substantially the 
same and have the same pattern of transfer to 
the customer. In these cases, the Group applies 
an output method to recognize revenue in the 
amount to which it has a right to invoice the 
customer if that amount corresponds directly with 
the value to the customer of the performance 
completed to date.

218

Consolidated Annual Report 2019Type of product/service

Nature and timing of satisfaction of performance 
obligation

Accounting policies

The network connection fees received from 
customers for connecting them to the electricity/
gas distribution networks require a specific Group 
assessment to take into consideration all terms 
and conditions of the connection arrangements. 
This assessment is intended to determine 
whether the contract includes other distinct 
goods or services, such as for example, the right 
to obtain ongoing access to the infrastructure 
in order to receive the commodity or, when the 
connection fee is a “non-refundable up-front fee” 
paid at or near contract inception, a material right 
that gives rise to a performance obligation.
In particular, in some countries in which the Group 
operates, it has determined that the nature of the 
consideration received represents a “non-refundable 
up-front fee” whose payment provides a material 
right to the customer. In order to determine if the 
period over which this material right should be 
recognized extends beyond the initial contractual 
period, the Group takes into consideration the 
applicable local legal and regulatory framework 
applicable to the contract and that affect the parties. 
In such cases, if there is an implied assignment 
of the material right and an obligation from the 
initial customer to the new customer, the Group 
recognizes the connection fee over a period beyond 
the relationship with the initial customer, considering 
the concession terms as the period during which 
the initial customer and any future customer can 
benefit from the ongoing access without paying 
an additional connection fee. As a consequence, 
the fee is recognized over the period for which the 
payment creates an obligation for the Group to make 
the lower prices available to future customers (i.e., 
the period during which the customer is expected 
to benefit from the ongoing access service without 
having to pay an “up-front fee” upon renewal).

The construction contracts typically include a 
performance obligation satisfied over time. For 
these contracts, the Group generally considers it 
appropriate to use an input method for measuring 
progress, except when a specific contract analysis 
suggests the use of an alternative method that 
better depicts the Group’s performance obligation 
fulfilled at reporting date.

Network connection 
services

Construction contracts

Revenue from monetary and in-kind fees for 
connection to the electricity and gas distribution 
network is recognized on the basis of the 
satisfaction of the performance obligations included 
in the contract. The identification of distinct goods or 
services requires a careful analysis of the terms and 
conditions of the connection arrangements, which 
could vary from country to country based on the 
local context, regulations and law. In order to finalize 
this assessment, the Group considers not only the 
characteristics of the goods/services themselves 
(i.e., the good or service is capable of being 
distinct) but also the implied promises for which the 
customer has a valid expectation as it views those 
promises as part of the negotiated exchange, that 
is goods/services that the customer expects to 
receive and has paid for (i.e., the promise to transfer 
the good or service to the customer is separately 
identifiable from other promises in the contract).
Furthermore, the Group acts as an agent in some 
contracts for electricity/gas network connection 
services and other related activities, depending on 
local legal and regulatory framework. In such cases, 
it recognizes revenue on a net basis, corresponding 
to any fee or commission to which it expects to be 
entitled.

For construction contracts that include a 
performance obligation satisfied over time, the 
Group recognizes revenue over time by measuring 
progress toward the complete satisfaction of that 
performance obligation. The cost-incurred method 
(cost-to-cost method) is generally considered the 
best method to depict the Group’s performance 
obligation fulfilled at the reporting date. 
The amount due from customers under a construction 
contract is presented as a contract asset; the amount 
due to customers under a construction contract is 
presented as a contract liability.

0.02% of Enel’s share capital.

Over the duration of the Program (September 23, 2019 - De-

cember  2,  2019)  the  Company  purchased  1,549,152  Enel 

shares at the weighted average price of €6.7779 per share.

Other reserves - €1,139 million

Share premium reserve - €7,487 million

Pursuant  to Article  2431  of  the  Italian  Civil  Code,  the  share 

premium reserve contains, in the case of the issue of shares 

at a price above par, the difference between the issue price 

of  the  shares  and  their  par  value,  including  those  resulting 

from conversion from bonds. The reserve, which is a capital 

reserve,  may  not  be  distributed  until  the  legal  reserve  has 

reached the threshold established under Article 2430 of the 

Italian Civil Code.

Legal reserve - €2,034 million

The  legal  reserve  is  formed  of  the  part  of  net  income  that, 

pursuant to Article 2430 of the Italian Civil Code, cannot be 

distributed as dividends.

Other reserves - €2,262 million

These include €2,215 million related to the remaining portion 

of  the  value  adjustments  carried  out  when  Enel  was  trans-

formed from a public entity to a joint-stock company.

Pursuant to Article 47 of the Uniform Income Tax Code (Testo 

Unico Imposte sul Reddito, or “TUIR”), this amount does not 

constitute taxable income when distributed.

Reserve  from  translation  of  financial  statements  in  cur-

rencies other than euro - €(3,802) million

The decrease for the year, of €485 million, was mainly due to 

the net strengthening of the functional currency against the 

foreign currencies used by subsidiaries and the change in the 

scope of consolidation connected with the purchase of 5.74% 

of Enel Américas.

€46,938 million

34.1 Equity attributable to the 
shareholders of the Parent Company - 
€30,377 million

Share capital - €10,167 million
At December 31, 2019, the fully subscribed and paid-up share 

capital of Enel SpA totaled €10,166,679,946, represented by 

the same number of ordinary shares with a par value of €1.00 

each.  Share  capital  is  unchanged  compared  with  that  regis-

tered at December 31, 2018.

At  December  31,  2019,  based  on  the  shareholders  register 

and the notices submitted to CONSOB and received by the 

Company  pursuant  to  Article  120  of  Legislative  Decree  58 

of February 24, 1998, as well as other available information, 

shareholders with an interest of greater than 3% in the Com-

pany’s  share  capital  included  the  Ministry  for  the  Economy 

and  Finance  (with  a  23.585%  stake)  and  Capital  Research 

and  Management  Company  (which  held  a  direct  interest  of 

5.029% at October 11, 2019 for asset management purpos-

es). 

Treasury share reserve - €(1) million
As  at  December  31,  2019,  treasury  shares  are  represented 

by 1,549,152 ordinary shares of Enel SpA with a par value of 

€1.00 each, purchased through a qualified intermediary for a 

total value of €10 million.

On  May  16,  2019,  the  Shareholders’  Meeting  approved  the 

long-term incentive plan for 2019 (“2019 LTI Plan” or “Plan”) 

intended for the management of Enel SpA and/or its subsid-

iaries pursuant to Article 2359 of the Civil Code, granting the 

Board of Directors all the powers necessary to implement the 

Plan.

On the same date, the Shareholders’ Meeting also authorized

Consolidated Annual Report 2019Sensitivity analysis of commodity risk 

fuel scenario and the basket of formulas used in the contracts 

The  following  table  presents  the  results  of  the  analysis  of 

sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in the commodity 

prices underlying the valuation model used in the scenario at 

the same date, with all other variables held constant. 

The  impact  on  pre-tax  profit  of  shifts  of  +15%  and  -15%  in 

the price curve for the main commodities that make up the 

is mainly attributable to the change in the price of electricity, 
gas and petroleum products and, to a lesser extent, of CO2. 
The impact on equity of the same shifts in the price curve is 

primarily due to changes in the price of electricity, petroleum 
products and, to a lesser extent, CO2. The Group’s exposure 
to changes in the prices of other commodities is not material.

Consolidated Annual Report 201946.1 Derivatives designated as hedging 
instruments
Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value, on the trade 

date  of  the  contract  and  are  subsequently  re-measured  at 

their fair value. The method of recognizing the resulting gain 

or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as 

a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being 

relationship will be provided through a qualitative analysis;

 > on the other hand, if the underling risk of the hedging in-

strument and the hedged item is not the same, the exist-

ence  of  the  economic  relationship  will  be  demonstrated 

through a quantitative method in addition to a qualitative 

analysis  of  the  nature  of  the  economic  relationship  (i.e., 

linear regression). 

hedged.

Hedge  accounting  is  applied  to  derivatives  entered  into  in 

order  to  reduce  risks  such  as  interest  rate  risk,  foreign  ex-

change rate risk, commodity price risk and net investments 

in foreign operations when all the criteria provided by IFRS 9 

are met.

At  the  inception  of  the  transaction,  the  Group  documents 

the  relationship  between  hedging  instruments  and  hedged 

items, as well as its risk management objectives and strate-

gy. The Group also documents its assessment, both at hedge 

inception  and  on  an  ongoing  basis,  of  whether  hedging  in-

struments  are  highly  effective  in  offsetting  changes  in  fair 

values or cash flows of hedged items.

For cash flow hedges of forecast transactions designated as 

hedged items, the Group assesses and documents that they 

are  highly  probable  and  present  an  exposure  to  changes  in 

cash flows that affect profit or loss.

In order to demonstrate that the behavior of the hedging in-

strument is in line with those of the hedged item, different 

scenarios will be analyzed.

For hedging of commodity price risk, the existence of an eco-

nomic relationship is deduced from a ranking matrix that de-

fines, for each possible risk component a set of all standard 

derivatives available in the market whose ranking is based on 

their effectiveness in hedging the considered risk.

In  order  to  evaluate  the  credit  risk  effects,  the  Group  con-

siders  the  existence  of  risk  mitigating  measures  (collateral, 

mutual break-up clauses, netting agreements, etc.).

The  Group  has  established  a  hedge  ratio  of  1:1  for  all  the 

hedging relationships (including commodity price risk hedg-

ing) as the underlying risk of the hedging derivative is identi-

cal to the hedged risk, in order to minimize hedging ineffec-

designates derivatives as either:

 > fair value hedges; or

 > cash flow hedges.

For  more  details  about  the  nature  and  the  extent  of  risks 

arising from financial instruments to which the Group is ex-

posed, please refer the note 44 “Risk management”.

To  be  effective  a  hedging  relationship  shall  meet  all  of  the

The hedge ineffectiveness will be evaluated through a quali-

tative assessment or a quantitative computation, depending 

on the following circumstances:

ment match and there aren’t other sources of ineffective-

ness  included  the  credit  risk  adjustment  on  the  hedging

instrument and hedged item;

 > the  effect  of  credit  risk  does  not  dominate  the  value

 > the hedge ratio defined at initial designation shall be equal 

to the one used for risk management purposes (i.e. same 

quantity of the hedged item that the entity actually hedges 

and the quantity of the hedging instrument that the entity 

actually uses to hedge the quantity of the hedged item).

Brindisi Sud thermal generation 
plant - Criminal proceedings 
against Enel employees 

A criminal proceeding was held before the Court of Brindisi 

concerning the Brindisi Sud thermal plant. A number of em-

ployees of Enel Produzione – cited as a liable party in civil liti-

gation – have been accused of causing criminal damage and 

dumping of hazardous substances with regard to the alleged 

contamination of land adjacent to the plant with coal dust as a 

result of actions between 1999 and 2011. At the end of 2013, 

the  accusations  were  extended  to  cover  2012  and  2013. As 

part of the proceeding, injured parties, including the Province 

and City of Brindisi, have submitted claims for total damages 

of about €1.4 billion. In its decision of October 26, 2016, the 

Court of Brindisi: (i) acquitted nine of the thirteen defendan-

ts  (employees/managers  of  Enel  Produzione)  for  not  having 

committed the offense; (ii) ruled that it did not have to proce-

ed as the offense was time-barred for two of the defendants; 

Court’s ruling also: (i) denied all claims of public parties and 

associations acting in the criminal proceeding to recover da-

mages; and (ii) granted most of the claims filed by the priva-

te  parties  acting  to  recover  damages,  referring  the  latter  to 

the civil courts for quantification without granting a provisio-

nal award. The convicted employees and the civil defendant, 

Enel Produzione, as well as by the employee for whom the 

expiry  of  period  of  limitations  had  been  declared,  appealed 

the conviction. On February 8, 2019, the Lecce Court of Ap-

peal: (i) confirmed the trial court ruling regarding the criminal 

convictions of two Enel Produzione executives; (ii) denied the 

claims  for  damages  of  some  private  appellants;  (iii)  granted 

some claims for damages, which had been denied in the trial 

court, referring the parties, like the others – whose claims had 

been granted by the trial court – to the civil courts for quantifi-

cation, without granting a provisional award; (iv) confirmed for 

the rest the ruling of the Court of Brindisi except for extending 

litigation costs to the Province of Brindisi, which had not been 

awarded damages at either the trial court or on appeal. 

With a subsequent ruling, the Court of Appeal of Lecce gran-

ted the appeal lodged by the Province of Brindisi against the 

ruling,  acknowledging  that  a  material  error  had  been  made

Enel Energia and Servizio Elettrico 
Nazionale antitrust proceeding

On  May  11,  2017,  the  Competition Authority  announced  the 

beginning proceedings for alleged abuse of a dominant posi-

tion under Article 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the 

European Union (TFEU) against Enel SpA (Enel), Enel Energia 

SpA (EE) and Servizio Elettrico Nazionale SpA (SEN), alleging, 

inter alia, that they had engaged in an exclusionary strategy, 

using  a  series  of  non-replicable  commercial  stratagems  ca-

pable  of  hindering  their  non-integrated  competitors  to  the 

benefit of the Group’s company operating on the free market 

(EE).

On December 20, 2018 the Competition Authority adopted its 

final ruling, subsequently notified to the parties on January 8, 

2019, with which it levied a fine on Enel SpA, SEN and EE of 

€93,084,790.50, for abuse of a dominant position in violation 

of Article 102 of the TFEU.

The disputed conduct consisted in the adoption of an exclu-

With  regard  to  other  allegations  made  with  the  measure  to 

initiate the proceeding, concerning the organization and per-

formance of sales activities at physical locations (Enel Points 

and Enel Point Partner Shops) and winback policies, the Com-

also filed a cross appeal against the rulings of the Lazio Regio-

nal Administrative Court, asking for restoration of the original 

situation.

Pending  the  preparation  and  notification  of  the  appeals,  on 

December  6,  2019,  the  Competition Authority,  with  its  own 

measure notified on December 13, 2019, recalculated the pe-

nalty, reducing it to €27,529,786.46.

SEN, EE and Enel therefore notified the Competition Autho-

rity and filed with the Council of State a petition to suspend 

enforcement of the penalty, even in its restated amount, re-

questing the suspension of the related payment until the ap-

peal was decided. At the pre-trial hearing, held on February 

20, 2020, this petition was not discussed in consideration of 

the supervening action of the Council of State to set a date 

for the hearing of the arguments in the dispute and the con-

sequent final decision for May 21, 2020.

BEG litigation

Following  an  arbitration  proceeding  initiated  by  BEG  SpA  in 

Italy, Enelpower obtained a ruling in its favor in 2002, which 

was  upheld  by  the  Court  of  Cassation  in  2010,  which  enti-

rely rejected the complaint with regard to alleged breach by 

Enelpower  of  an  agreement  concerning  the  construction  of 

a hydroelectric power station in Albania. Subsequently, BEG, 

acting through its subsidiary Albania BEG Ambient, filed suit 

against  Enelpower  and  Enel  SpA  in  Albania  concerning  the

On August 10, 2018, a direct summons for judgment was no-

May 23, 2019. In addition to e-distribuzione SpA, the proce-

A number of legal actions (“acciones de grupo” and “accio-

for the construction of a 400 MW hydroelectric plant in the 

region of Huila (Colombia). More specifically, the first acción 

de grupo, currently in the preliminary stage, was brought by 

around  1,140  residents  of  the  municipality  of  Garzón,  who 

claim  that  the  construction  of  the  plant  would  reduce  their 

business  revenue  by  30%.  A  second  action  was  brought, 

between August 2011 and December 2012, by residents and 

businesses/associations  of  five  municipalities  of  Huila  clai-

ming damages related to the closing of a bridge (Paso El Co-

legio). With regard to acciones populares, or class action law-

suits, in 2008 a suit was filed by a number of residents of the 

area demanding, among other things, that the environmental 

permit be suspended. Another acción popular was brought 

by a number of fish farming companies over the alleged im-

pact  that  filling  the  Quimbo  basin  would  have  on  fishing  in 

the  Betania  basin  downstream  from  Quimbo.  After  a  num-

This dispute involves an “acción de grupo” brought by Cen-

tro  Médico  de  la  Sabana  hospital  and  other  parties  against 

Codensa  seeking  restitution  of  allegedly  excess  rates. The 

action is based upon the alleged failure of Codensa to apply 

a subsidized rate that they claim the users should have paid 

as  Tensión  Uno  category  users  (voltage  of  less  than  1  kV) 

and owners of infrastructure, as established in Resolution no. 

82/2002, as amended by Resolution no. 97/2008. The suit is 

at a preliminary stage. The estimated value of the proceeding 

is about 337 billion Colombian pesos (about €96 million).

Arbitration proceedings in 
Colombia

On October 8, 2018 the Grupo Energía de Bogotá (GEB) (whi-

ch  holds  about  51.5%  of  Emgesa  and  Codensa)  announced 

that  it  had  started  arbitration  proceedings  before  the  Cen-

tro de Arbitraje y Conciliación de la Cámara de Comercio de 

Bogotá  against  Enel  Américas  SA  for  an  alleged  breach  of 

contract in relation to the non-distribution of dividends in the 

2016, 2017 and 2018 financial years for the companies Emge-

sa and Codensa and for the failure to comply with certain pro-

visions of the shareholders’ agreement. The GEB is claiming 

damages of about €514 million plus interest. The procedure is 

in the preliminary phase.

In parallel, GEB also initiated, respectively, 17 arbitration pro-

ceedings against Codensa and 20 against Emgesa, for a total 

of 37 pending disputes (now joined into two separate proce-

edings for each company), in an attempt to void the decisions 

of the Junta Directiva and shareholders’ meetings of the de-

fendant  companies  for  alleged  violation  of  mandatory  rules,

for a further exchange of briefs by the parties.

In addition, SE lodged a request for arbitration with the Vien-

na International Arbitral Centre (VIAC) under the VEG Indem-

nity Agreement.  Under  that  accord,  which  had  been  signed 

as  part  of  the  privatization  between  the  National  Property 

Fund (now MH Manazment) of the Slovak Republic and SE, 

the latter is entitled to an indemnity in the event of the early 

termination of the VEG Operating Agreement for reasons not 

attributable to SE. The arbitration court rejected the objection 

that it did not have jurisdiction and the arbitration proceeding 

continued to examine the merits of the case, with a ruling on 

the amount involved being deferred to any subsequent proce-

eding. On June 30, 2017, the arbitration court issued its ruling 

denying the request of SE.

The State of Ceará has filed various tax assessments against

deriving from the application of a special rate envisaged by the

Income taxes - Enel Green Power 
España SL 
On June 7, 2017, the Spanish tax authorities issued a notice of 

assessment to Enel Green Power España SL, contesting the 

treatment of the merger of Enel Unión Fenosa Renovables SA 

(“EUFER”) into Enel Green Power España SL in 2011 as a tax 

neutral transaction, asserting that the transaction had no valid 

economic reason.

On July 6, 2017, the company appealed the assessment at the 

first administrative level (Tribunal Económico-Administrativo Cen-

applied to the merger. The company has provided the supporting 

documentation demonstrating the synergies achieved as a result 

of the merger in order to prove the existence of a valid econo-

Board of Statutory Auditors and those of the Board of Directors. 

During  the  course  of  this  activity  and  on  the  basis  of  information  obtained  from  EY 

SpA,  no  omissions,  censurable  facts,  irregularities  or  other  significant  developments 

were  found  that  would  require  reporting  to  the  regulatory  authorities  or  mention  in 

this report. 

Finally,  the  Board  of  Statutory  Auditors  notes,  as  at  the  date  of  this  Report,  the 

major  global  health  emergency  associated  with  the  COVID-19  epidemic.  Italian 

authorities have introduced significant limitations on freedom of movement within the 

country to contain the contagion, among other things imposing bans on gatherings. 

In  this  context,  the  Board  of  Statutory  Auditors,  in  compliance  with  the  above 

measures to contain the COVID-19 epidemic, has held its meetings – beginning with 

the  meeting  of  February  26,  2020  –  exclusively  with  the  use  of  audio/video 

conference systems by all participants, nevertheless ensuring their identification and 

the  exchange  of  documentation,  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  Article  25.4  of 

the Bylaws. 

The  Board  of  Statutory  Auditors  also  notes  that,  as  permitted  under  Article  106, 

paragraph 4, of Decree Law 18 of March 17, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors 

has  called  the  ordinary  Shareholders’  Meeting  for  May  14,  2020  in  a  single  call, 

establishing  that  it  will  be  conducted  in  a  manner  that  enables  shareholders  to 

participate  exclusively  through  the  shareholders’  representative  designated  by  the 

Company, to whom shareholders may also confer proxies or sub-proxies pursuant to 

Article  135-novies  of  the  Consolidated  Law  on  Financial  Intermediation,  also  in 

derogation  from  the  provisions  of  Article  135-undecies,  paragraph  4,  of  the  same 

Consolidated  Law.  The  Board  of  Statutory  Auditors  will  ensure  that  the  rights  of  the 

Shareholders  can  be  exercised  on  the  occasion  of  the  aforementioned  Shareholders' 

Meeting, within the limits permitted by the special procedures envisaged for holding 

the Meeting. 

In  the  coming  months,  the  Board  of  Statutory  Auditors  will  carry  out  its  oversight 

activity,  in  close  coordination  with  the  Board  of  Directors,  to  evaluate  the  impact  of 

the  COVID-19  epidemic  on  the  performance  and  financial  situation  of  the  Company 

and the Enel Group. 

Based  on  the  oversight  activity  performed  and  the  information  exchanged  with  the 

independent  auditors  EY  SpA,  we  recommend  that  you  approve  the  Company’s 

financial  statements  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019  in  conformity  with  the

Dear Shareholders, 

With regard to the content of the Report indicated above (in the text approved by the

the  process  of  preparing  the  remuneration  policy  for  2020  (the  “Remuneration 

Policy”),  we  inform  you  that  we  attended  the  meeting  of  the  Nomination  and 

Compensation  Committee  of  Enel  SpA  held  on  April  28  and  29,  2020  and  at  the 

subsequent meeting of the Board of Directors held on April 29, 2020 in which certain 

elements of the policy were reviewed. 

More specifically, at the meeting of April 29, 2020 the Board of Directors, acting on a 

proposal  of  the  Nomination  and  Compensation  Committee,  decided  to  modify  a 

number  of  aspects  of  the  Remuneration  Policy,  enhancing,  in  particular,  certain

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most  significance in
our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were
addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in
forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

We identified the following key audit matters:

Key Audit  Matt er

Audit  Response

Our audit procedures in response to this Key
Audit  Matter included, among others:

· Assessment of the impairment process of
non-current assets and related controls
implemented by the Group;

· Assessment of the criteria adopted to

identify the CGUs and the reconciliation of
their carrying amounts to the consolidated
financial statements;

· Assessment of the key assumptions

underlying the Industrial Plan 2020-2024
and relevant future cash flows, including the
comparison with industry data and forecasts;

· Assessment of the consistency of the cash
flow projections for each CGU with the
Indust rial Plan 2020-2024;

· Assessment of IAS 36 accounting

requirements for the reversal of previously
recognized impairment losses;

· Assessment of the management’s ability to
make accurate projections, through the
comparison of the actual results wit h the
previous forecasts.

In performing our procedures, we engaged our
valuation experts in order to verify the
methodologies used in the process, the
mathematical accuracy of the model, the
reasonableness of the long-term growth rates
and the discount rates as well as the results of
the sensitivit y analysis performed by the
management.

Lastly, we reviewed the adequacy of the
disclosures provided in the notes to the financial
statements relating this Key Audit  Matter.

Recoverabilit y of non-current  asset s

The consolidated financial statements include,
within the non-current assets balance, Property,
Plant and Equipment for Euro 79.809 million,
Intangible Assets for Euro 19.089 million and
Goodwill for Euro 14.241 million.

The Directors tested for impairment the carrying
values of the Cash Generating Units (CGUs) as of
the balance sheet date, which include goodwill,
intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and
other non-current assets where indication of
impairment were noted.

The process adopted by management and the
methodologies for assessing and determining the
recoverable amount of each CGU are sometimes
based on complex assumptions which, due to
their nature, require the Directors to exercise
their judgment. Such a judgment relates,
primarily, to the cash flow projections deriving
from the Indust rial Plan 2020-2024 as well as
from the determination of the long-term growth
rates and the discount rates applied to these
projections.

In 2019, the Group reported impairment losses
of Euro 4,221 million mainly related to write-
down of carrying values of certain coal-fired
plants in Italy, Spain, Chile and Russia.

In relation to the above, the key assumptions
made by the Directors relate to future economic
trends, including future trends of the electricity
and gas demand and the related expected prices,
the availabilit y of renewable resources as well as
certain assumptions such as inflation, exchange
and interest rates.

Because of the judgment required and the
complexit y of assumptions used to estimate the
recoverable amount of the non-current assets,
we identified this area as a Key Audit  Matter.

The disclosures related to the impairment of
non-current assets are included in Note 2.

Revenues from unbilled sale of elect ricit y and
gas

Revenues from sales of electricity and gas to
retail customers are recognized upon delivery
and include, in addition to amounts invoiced
based on periodic meter readings or on the
volumes notified by distributors and
transporters, an estimate of the electricity and
gas delivered during the year but not yet
invoiced. Revenues accrued between the date of
the last meter reading and year-end are based
on estimates of the daily consumption of
customers, primarily determined on their
historical information, adjusted to reflect the
climate factors or other matters that may affect
the estimated consumption.

Because of the complexity of assumptions used
to estimate the revenues from unbilled sale of
elect ricity and gas, we identified this area as a
Key Audit Matter.

The disclosures related to the revenues from
unbilled sale of electricity and gas are included
in Note 2. “ Accounting policies and
measurement criteria – Use of estimates –
Revenue Recognition” .

Our audit procedures in response to this Key
Audit  Matter included, among others:

· assessment of the process related to the
recognition of revenues from sales of
elect ricity and gas and related key controls,
including Information Technology controls,
implemented by the entities within the
Group;

· assessment of the algorit hms and data in the
ERP systems of such Group entities, also with
the support of our Information Technology
specialists;

· testing of a sample of data used by

management to determine the accrued
revenues, including, whenever applicable,
the comparison of quantities entered into the
network as made available by transporters
and dist ributors;

· look-back analysis of prior estimates against

actual data subsequently reported.

Lastly, we reviewed the adequacy of the
disclosures provided in the notes to the financial
statements relating this Key Audit  Matter.

Legal proceedings

Audit  Response

The Group is involved in several civil,
administ rative and tax disputes arising from
the normal course of business, for which final
outcomes cannot be easily predicted and could
potentially results in significant liabilities.
The assessment of the risks associated with
the litigations is based on complex
assumptions, which, by their nature, require
the use of the Directors’ judgment. Such
judgment  relates, primarily, to the assessment
of the uncertainties connected to the
prediction of the outcome of the proceedings
and to the adequacy of the disclosures in the
financial statements; it is also based on the
assessment made by internal and external
legal counsels.
Because of the judgment required, the
materiality of such litigations and the
complexit y of the assessment process, we
identified this area as a Key Audit Matter.

The disclosures related to legal proceedings
are included in Note 2. “ Accounting policies
and measurement criteria – Use of estimates –
Litigation”  and Note 52. “ Contingent liabilities
and asset s” .

Our audit procedures in response to this Key
Audit  Matter included, among others:
· assessment of the process and relevant

controls implemented to identify legal and
tax litigations, and pending administ rative
proceedings;

· assessment of the assumptions used in the
valuation of potential legal and tax risks
performed by the legal and tax departments
within the Group;

· inquiry with the legal and tax departments
regarding the status of the most significant
disputes and inspection of the key relevant
documentation, also with the support of our
tax and legal experts;

· analysis of the external confirmations

received from the external legal and tax
counsels assisting the Group entities involved
in such disputes, and assessment of the
consistency of the information obtained with
the risk assessment performed by
management and the legal and tax
departments.

Lastly, we reviewed the adequacy of the
disclosures provided in the notes to the financial
statements relating this Key Audit  Matter.

Consolidated Annual Report 2019Responsibilit ies of Direct ors and Those Charged wit h Governance for t he
Consolidat ed Financial St atement s

The Directors are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that give a
true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the
European Union and with the regulations issued for implementing art. 9 of Legislative Decree n.
38/ 2005, and, wit hin the terms provided by the law, for such internal control as they determine is
necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that  are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.

The Directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and,
when preparing the consolidated financial statements, for the appropriateness of the going concern
assumption, and for appropriate disclosure thereof. The Directors prepare the consolidated financial
statements on a going concern basis unless they either intend to liquidate the Parent Company Enel
S.p.A. or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

The statutory audit committee (“ Collegio Sindacale” ) is responsible, within the terms provided by the
law, for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

Audit or’s Responsibilit ies for t he Audit  of t he Consolidat ed Financial St atement s

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial
statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to
issue an auditor’s report that  includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,
but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing
(ISA Italia) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from
fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated
financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia), we have
exercised professional judgment and maintained professional skepticism throughout the audit. In
addition:

· we have identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error, designed and performed audit procedures responsive
to those risks, and obtained audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than
for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;

· we have obtained an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design

audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control;

· we have evaluated the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of

accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Directors;

· we have concluded on the appropriateness of Directors’ use of the going concern basis of

accounting and, based on the audit  evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists
related to events or conditions that  may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue
as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw
attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such
disclosures are inadequate, to consider this matter in forming our opinion. Our conclusions are
based on the audit  evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future

· we have evaluated the overall presentation, st ructure and content of the consolidated financial
statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements
represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
· we have obtained sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the
entities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely
responsible for our audit opinion.

We have communicated with those charged wit h governance, identified at an appropriate level as
required by ISA Italia, regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and
significant audit  findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify
during our audit.

We have provided those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied wit h the
ethical and independence requirements applicable in Italy, and we have communicated with them all
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related
safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged wit h governance, we have determined those
matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period
and are therefore the key audit  matters. We have described these matters in our auditor’s report.
